Having started my VP at work about the 7th I have realised that down
here in Dorset(Milton Abbas) there has not been much rain so far.
Anyway, assuming the situation does not change much (down here anyway)
has it been a 'dry' month so far?


It certainly has been very dry (for November). Also dull & mild.

November has been the wettest month of the year since I started my records
(1991). Rainfall in Penzance is very seasonal compared with the rest of
England.

The driest November I've recorded was 71.7mm in 2001
The 1971-2000 LTA is 139.8mm

This month just 29.5mm, so the driest I've recorded by a large margin.
