Cheers, Alastair.



Thanks for that Alastair. Looks interesting, more so because we were
slap bang in the middle of the drought order issued in June 2011.

Anyone else still reading this, since my last post I have managed to
find the complete historical rain data (monthly rain totals) from 1880
to 1997 for the county. I already have a similar set for 2006-2015. If I
scratch my way through the Pitsford site I should be able to fill in the
gap, though they do have a tendency to put similar sets of data for
different years in different sections. That's school kids for you!
