Last year the three years compared gave a smoothed 

 result of 32*13 against 32*06 this year, the correction on the 

 annual fall being 4*63 last year and 4*66 this year. 



The year has been a dry one, for not only have we had a 

 deficit of over two inches, but we have had fewer wet days 

 and long droughts.
