west coast Scotland here,
We have had brown grass already in our fields
Hopefully this weeks rain will repair some of the damage.

We have had SO little rain since the 18th December 2009, its unbelievable.

Strange indeed - every time I look at a weather chart recently, I see
weather fronts bouncing of the blocking High, and heading to Scotland?

Scotland is a big place )))
In the last 10 days we have had rain
but in the past months the rain has been coming in from the south, east or
the north, all of which puts us in to the rain shadow.

Sadly normal service seems to have resumed, and likely to stay that way for
the foreseeable future.
