Driest 3-month spells and Still dry a foot down ..
In article ,
George Booth writes: August 1st-to date 36.6mm here. Looking at the records the previous 'driest 3 months' were April to June 1995 with 51.0mm and October to December 1983 with 55.8mm. For January-September 2003 329.8mm (69% long term average) but 1996 had only 312mm (65%) for this period. That October to December figure is the one that stands out, AFAIAC. For what is normally the most reliably rainy period of the year, it's astonishing. -- John Hall "I am not young enough to know everything." Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) |

Fields here still very dry and dusty with deep cracks esp where London Clay is exposed at the surface. I must check on the Met Office website to see exactly which areas have been affected since 1st Aug. -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham Email to pahyett[AT]activist[DOT]demon[DOT]co[DOT]uk |
