Default Where has the rain gone in the south?

Worth noting that it's not been just the south. Apart from a midweek glitch in the Edinburgh area it's also been very dry up north. Places like Stornoway have had precious little for about a month now. Starting to make life difficult when they have little storage capacity and rely more on a steady week to week feed.
Luckily it's the last day of school today, so the holidays look like getting off to a good start.
