It might be worth thinking about if we are in for a few of these

the peak of the other end of spectrum for another 15 years, that
indicates about 7 years or so of dry summers. It would be an investment
if there is a re-run of the late 1970's. (IIRC.)


In my lifetime (from 1950) we have had dry summers, wet summers and
summers that were a bit of both.

I can';t say that I have seen any discernible pattern, although the
winters seem warmer than they were - far less frost about.

And as I write, the lightning is flashing over teh horizon. End of THAT
dry spell for a day or so I suspect.
