And March seems to be going the same way it was wet again today!!

Ah, now I see that I'm not really wet only a little damp

These figures are remarkable. It's not until you hear it from the 'horses mouth' that you realise how bad it has been. An average annual rainfall for us is 650-700mm.

This year we've had

108 - Oct
40 - Nov
40 - Dec
125 - Jan
approx. 50mm (need to tally it up) for Feb.

And I thought it was wet. I really hope things start to dry up for you guys!

511mm to date this year, I don't know what is "average " rainfall any more! Met Office figures only give a yearly average of 655mm between 1971 and 2000 for Shropshire, must get busy with the ark.

[Dockers]

Average total for the 3 months is 230mm. v 589 last 3 months. !!! Two thirds of our annual rainfall.

Going to be a very dry summer ??

It's only in the last few years that I've realised how dry our part of the country is. The rain just seems to peter out before it reaches us. Although the land is very wet here underneath.
