Abstract

FOR the British Isles as a whole the rainfall of 1931 was 109 per cent of the average, the year being the ninth in succession with a general fall in excess. Over the country as a whole the rainfall of 1931 was less than that of 1930 but greater than that of 1929. In spite of the wet summer some places in south-east England had less than the average annual fall, and so did the northwest of Scotland where summer was dry, but a wet area with more than 130 per cent embraced the north English Midlands.
