Possible drought

The News this morning is stating that the South East will end up with a drought this year. So what does the stats say?

The table below shows the rainfall since Oct 2005 and you will see that last year was exceptionally dry at 418mm of rain (March and April only had 3mm of rain!!) Jan and Feb 2012 have started off the same as well.

So far in Feb we have only had 8 days of rain compared to 16 days last year and a record of 25 days of rain  in 2010.

The graph shows how the last 12 months rain has been compared to the average of the last 6.5 years.

Looks like the hosepipe won;t be coming out this year!!
