Rainfall

Buntingford and district received its share - not a large one - of the much-needed rain, that fell on Sunday evening.

The measured rainfall on Mr E.G. Thody's garden was 0.39 inches - an equivalent to 39 tons to the acre.

The rainfall on Monday night was 0.19 inches - an equivalent to about 19 tons to the acre.

Fortunately, we have escaped any terrific thunderstorms such as the series that visited us on May 20th, 1924, when water ran through some of the houses.

Rainfall for the week ending Wednesday, May 18th, 1927.
