I'm having difficulty believing it, but according to the MetOffice I only
got about 75% of the average December rainfall here. (The weather's been
more windy than torrential, but I still would have thought that it would
have broken the average.) Interpolating between the contours
Leicestershire got about 85% of its (lower) average.
We've had less than average here too (Cheshire) but it has mostly cone in
the last couple of weeks. We've been recording rain fall for the last 17
years and after 3 or4 year of increasing rain the trend has been generally
downwards although last year was a bit wetter than 2012

I can assure that (as I am here in Leics and you're not) it's VERY VERY
RAINY (understatement) and it's not downwards here atm. And if you can get
through the bridge down to the village, you don't need a 4x4, you need a
boat.
