North Downs rain shadow
http://www.meteox.com/h.aspx?r=holid...soort=loop1uur
The rain gets as far as the north downs and dries up on before reaching the Thames. I guess the tiny bit of the jigsaw that makes us the driest area in the UK :-) -- Keith (Southend) http://www.southendweather.net e-mail: kreh at southendweather dot net |

I get *your* rainfall, and I'm getting it now. The annual mean here (1971-2000, COL estimate) is 834 mm. My own figures 1983 to the present give 809 mm (last year brought it down a lot). At the top of the Downs (875 ft) a few miles away the mean is probably just about 900 mm. All this is wetter than Manchester, which most non-weather types find hard to believe.
