AbstractAlthough spring 1995 was not remarkable in that temperatures in all three months were generally near normal it was unusual in being exceptionally dry. The precipitation total for the season was only 129.5 millimetre giving a shortfall of 415.6 millimetre compared to the 1961-90 normal value of 545.1 millimetre. Although also much drier than normal there was one heavy rain event associated with an active trough on 19th April 1995 which produced more than half of the month's total and resulted in the issuance of a Flood Warning for the first time in 1995.
