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.

The Storm
Buntingford missed - and a good miss - the centre of the severe thunderstorm which assed over Essex and part of Hertfordshire on Sunday night.
The lightning could be seen at 10 p.m., and was very vivid and incessant until about 11.30.
Little rain fell in the district, though a certain amount of damage was done to growing crops by the strong wind.
It is understood that the havoc caused in certain parts of Essex was heartbreaking to witness on Monday morning.
