European Drought

20/03/12 -- Here's an interesting picture for you, picked up of Twitter as posted by Tregg Cronin. I have no way of getting in touch with Tregg to ask his permission to use this, but as the page it's posted on contains some embed code then I am assuming that he won't mind.

This is the percentage of normal rainfall for the last 45 days from Cropcast. Click on the image to enlarge it a bit. There's clearly an east/west divide developing.

The high pressure that has been blocking off weather systems moving in from the west, directing any rain up to the Jocks and the North Sea is seen weakening once we get into April though where the forecast is for more normal unsettled weather for the UK.
