Hot and Moist

[pjclarke]

Remarkable UK weather - December was the warmest on record - some 4 degrees above average, and 100-year rainfall records smashed in Scotland, Wales and the north-west of England, costs estimated at £5 billion, more than £3 billion above a 'normal' year.

More heavy storms and peturbations in the jetstream the proximate cause ...

Are we supposed to extrapolate?

Hot and moist mmm. Oh weather!

Interesting choice of date range between 1981 & 2010

The UK annual average rainfall has increased by a relatively small amount - around 2% - when comparing 1981-2010 with 1971-2000. This is a similar increase to that from 1961-1990 to 1971-2000.

A few days too late but just crossed my mind that a slight rearrangement of "Bah, Humbug" is "Hah! Bumhug" Sounds much more fun.

What? Yes. It's entirely on topic, you just need to exist in a higher plain to understand.

What about the dry bits in the south and east? less than 75% usual rainfall.

Simple solution, live there. Nice and convenient for those £2K per day contracts in London too.

Immigrants don't like the cold and wet, so yes.

Brill today in Fuffix. Out in tea shirt as usual. Although very soggy, what rain we do get seems all to happen at night.
