Hi



I've just been examining the UKP daily rainfall data maintained by the Met Office as you do on beautiful days such as day because you're very, very sad and...



I know the spring here in the SW had been dry, but I never realised that we had already had two drought (old style 15 days =0.25 mm on any day) events here, and that we probably are already on day 17 of the third (if my Vantage Pro is correct here in mid Devon).



Hopefully I have parsed the data correctly but I'm sure you'll put me right if I haven't!

Correct Bruce.
Third of the so called drought periods this year in Wembury after the ones of Feb/Mar and Mar/Apr. Rather different then though as it was perishingly cold.

Now with high insolation it is a bit more taxing for the fauna and flora. Wall to wall sunshine for 16 days in a row. And today it is blowing a hooley from the east.
Soil deficits are way down.

This was all bound to happen after last years deluge. Law of averages see.
