The wettest drought since records began

Figures from the Met Office suggest Britain has endured its wettest April since records began more than a century ago in 1910.

But here is the Met Office forecast for April, issued on March 12th, 2012:

Met Office 3-month Outlook Period: April – June 2012 Issue date: 23.03.12

SUMMARY – PRECIPITATION: The forecast for average UK rainfall slightly favours drier than average conditions for April-May-June as a whole, and also slightly favours April being the driest of the 3 months. With this forecast, the water resources situation in southern, eastern and central England is likely to deteriorate further during the April-May-June period. The probability that UK precipitation for April-May-June will fall into the driest of our five categories is 20-25% whilst the probability that it will fall into the wettest of our five categories is 10-15% (the 197-2000 climatological probability for each of these categories is 20%).
