But as I said, the lack of rainfall is unusual and is dissimilar to the
years mentioned.
Unfortunately, it is similar to 1947. :-(

You are quite right on both counts, Victor. But this thread was
about whether or not the present blocking situation was unusual
or not. You are, of course, perfectly at liberty to drag the thread
in a different direction, but I can always try to drag it back
again ... :-)


But dragging it off again, isn't the lack of rainfall related to the
blocking?
......feel free to drag the topic back again Philip. :-))
