Default Most persistent blocking high?

This is just a general enquiry.

Are their any historical records kept on such matters?

I suppose for starters the summer of 1976 must have seen a High in
control for July August and up to about 6th September, when, if I
remember correctly, it retreated and we then had a very wet autumn.

And was it last year that we had a dominant High for a long autumn -
most of September,October

Check back from the dates of the highest magnitude earthquakes on
he
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/...historical.php

Note the 8+ Mags in particular.

I haven't done as much myself but that's no reason for you not to
prove me right.

(Ermmm.... or blocking Lows. I just think of them as singularities.
All I am after is the synergy not the pedantics.)

((Now there's a point... I always considered there to be two types of
earthquake. Never really considered it though. Nor can I explain why I
should think that there are such.))

Some that I can think of:

May-August 1995: Highs seldom seemed to be far away from the UK: for
most of May and early June it was out in the Atlantic giving cool
northerlies but bang on June 21st it shifted east, bringing the best
summer I can recall by a long way.

Persistent "Bartlett Highs" in place to the south of Britain in
winters 1988-89, 1997-98 and 2004-05 (amongst others) :-(

April 2007- did we use up this year's supply of blocking high pressure
that month?
