August 1st-to date 36.6mm here. Looking at the records the previous
'driest 3 months' were April to June 1995 with 51.0mm and October to
December 1983 with 55.8mm. For January-September 2003 329.8mm (69% long
term average) but 1996 had only 312mm (65%) for this period.

That October to December figure is the one that stands out, AFAIAC. For
what is normally the most reliably rainy period of the year, it's
astonishing.
