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.
