We've been keeping monthly rainfall records for about 15 years now
and the average for each month closely correlates with the average
for each month up to 1956 (my wife studied geography and has a
geographic atlas published in that year). Wettest months are Oct and
Nov closely followed by August and July.

Does your wife know if the summers then were better than now? Would
area make a difference? I was in East Yorks.
Yes and no as explained above.
" the average for each month closely correlates with the average for

as I don't have access to a rain gauge in those places.
