Hi Simon,
Rainfall totals for Tideswell for each of the months this year and percentages
of ELTA a

Jan 75.9 mm (65%)
Feb 164.4 mm (200%)
Mar 14.6 mm (16%)
Apr 15.1 mm (18%)
May 91.1 mm (123%)
Jun 68.3 mm (96%)
Jul 72.4 mm (92%)

Overall, we're therefore on about 87% of average for the first 7 months of the
year. August has been dry with only 21 mm of rain in the first 13 days.

Here, 10 of the last 11 months have had below average rainfall, and the
11th was only about 5% above normal.
