I know, I was in Amsterdam on Sunday 15th - I was actually a masochist and
drove
there from Calais, stopped off in Brugge on the way home. Sunday was OK
until
about 1600, just as we were leaving the Rijksmuseum and walking to the
Leidse
Plein for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe it started to rain heavily.

Yes, Amsterdam's exceptional wet this year. Strange as storms, (even
squall-lines) seem to follow the same path during the season, once this
track's set!

For example compare this map ppn over August this year:

with ppn over August 2002 (another wet August month)

( Green to blue area's are the wettest).

Obviously its Amsterdamá turn now
