2011 Rainfall

In the year in which much of the country has had horrendous drought, Cumbria has lived up to it's reputation. Our local farmers are all saying (and have been for months) that they have never known the land this wet - and some of them have seen a fair few decades. Despite this, we have only had slightly above average for the village rainfall. It isn't even obvious from the records that it has fallen in any odd sort of pattern. It just never seems to have had chance to dry out in between.
