April ends with showers

March adds to the drought

A taste of winter finally blows in

Month after month, it’s mild

Mildest autumn for 20 years

Rejoice and be merry!

Very warm and very dry

Here’s to a very British summer

Year still waiting for a soaking

Unexceptional – with exceptions

Run of 24 rain-free days

Now the rain’s stopped, too

Where did all the snow go?

New year back to normal

So, how cold was it?

A chilling record

November chill beats the records

Sun shines on an autumnal chill

Summer average takes a soaking

August downpours end dry spell

Hot and sunny summer start

Chill turns to heat

Showers stay away

Dry spell ending?

Dry spell coming to an end?

It’s been the coldest winter in 30 years

Let it snow, let it snow . . .

Wild and windy, wet and mild

SEVENTEEN days without rain

Another wet one for the records

Dry spell heralds springtime
