Thanks, Steve, but my DIY skills are such that it would be simpler to

Hi, Alan,

Wow!
Just 13.2mm so far for August over here in the rain shadow.
Back to normal after last month's 270mm record deluge.
Much prefer the "dry"

Best wishes,
Ken

Commiserations Alan.
Wetter than Haytor, here are my August figures.
(Long term average is 110mm)

2003 28.1
2004 198.4
2005 29.6
2006 61.5
2007 115.5
2008 190.7

So only 2008 was wetter down here in the upland southwest.
