yes, thats official. not the other non qualified froth heard on here

It's nice to see the word "blocked" in that article.
" The big differences in rainfall pattern across the UK, illustrate just how
varied the weather can be across the country. 'Blocked' weather patterns
have kept many southern and eastern counties dry, but Atlantic weather
systems and their rain-bearing fronts have affected regions further north
and west. "

Now, about that hot and dry June? :-)

I finally got round to doing my COL data and collectively my spring
was the driest I've recorded since I started in 1978, beating by 10mm
over the three month period, two previous years, I think they were
1989 and 1990, need to check tho'. Many have been making comparisons
to 1976, but I don't see much similarity myself and I still have a
hunch there are cracks in the armour of this blocking pattern.

Should have been:
1996 - 46.7mm
1997 - 43.7mm

2011 - 37.8mm
