LEAP YEAR has ruined what would have been 22-year dry weather record during January and February.

A change in the weather started at midnight and by 9.80 this morning 78 points of an inch of rain had fallen. Thus the 1918 low record of .025 of an inch rainfall for the first two months of the year remains unchallenged, and the 1940 figures can now only compare with those for 1933, when .540 of an inch was recorded for the same period.

Up to midnight last night the first had ceased, but by then the "domage" two months of the year had produced was done. Here is how the rain was but 33 points of an inch, which ran a recorded since midnight: very good second to the 1918 time record.
