Here in Mid Devon (Exeter) have only had 17.2MM so far this month, and if it
stays like that it will be the joint lowest January rainfall on record (17
years). 1997 we had 17.2MM as well.

How is it looking in the dry Sussex and to the east?

Here at my station at Horsham, West Sussex (10 miles SW of Gatwick) only
21mm so far this month.
(2005 = 72% of average rainfall)

Regards

Richard

Here in Ewell, Epsom in Surrey my January rainfall is 14.7mm which makes it
the driest January only since 1997 when I logged only 13.3mm. The 1971 -
2000 mean is 63.4mm. After the very dry January in 1997, February was wet
with 71.0mm.

Just east of you in mid Dorset I have had 26mm odd (figures not to
hand). February last year was something like 11.2mm

024.3mm [37% of eLTA 1971-2000]

Last year (2005), January 26.6mm, followed by February 22.3mm.

In 2000 (which was to turn out to be a wet year overall), we only had
17.7mm that January.

Anyone in Yorkshire got any rainfall figures. I only remember one day
with any real rain rather than a little drizzle and that lasted
minutes
as a squall went through. It seems even dryer than January 2005. This
is worrying as at the start of the month Howden and Derwent and even
Ladybower Resivours were nowhere near the levels you would expect at
this time of year.

Another 0.5mm today takes the total for January up to 17.3mm (about 25%
of the local lta). If it stays that low, it will be the driest month I
have recorded since I started observations in September 2004.

Yeah. Dry.
Jan 11.7mm so far. Nowt more in prospect. A lot of the fronts a few
weeks back didn't make it across the Pennines as usual. There's a very
significant rain shadow effect here for anything coming in from the
North-West in particular.

My driest month on record is Jan 97, at 6.8mm, so its not unusual. Mind,
Feb 97 made up for it with 115mm. Full data on my archive page below.

20.8mm in St Albans in January, it seems a very typical figure for a large
area of the country .
