The current rainfall deficit in Tideswell is quite substantial. As of
yesterday the following are the figures:

30-day running total: 52% of average
60-day running total: 41% of average
90-day running total: 35% of average
120-day running total: 33% of average
180-day running total: 67% of average
365-day running total: 91% of average

I appreciate that seasonal variation has a part to play in these
figures but, on average, the driest months of the year here are April
and September and these months don't come into the 30-day to 120-day
totals
shown above, apart from a few days of April in the 120-day total.

It was hoped that the Sunday would have provided Scilly with some decent rainfall, the 1st forecast of really active fronts down here for a while. In the event 3mm fell. Yesterday was dry, breezy with good sunny spells in the afternoon, so by the end of the day you wouldn’t know it had rained rec ntly.

(OT) but we saw a small pod of dolphins off Gugh today, on the way back from St Agnes. Hoping to go kayaking tomorrow off porthcressa, which should be very sheltered from the NW breeze.
