A letter by L. Bonacina
"The heavy rainfall of December 1934 in the hilly counties south of the Thames was highly typical both as regards intensity and distribution of very wet months and marked feature of our climate which deserves comment. Apparently every county bordering on the Channel from Cornwall to Kent had between 5 and 10 inches of rain in December as a minimum, large tracts of country in the Downs of Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset had between 10 and 20 inches and small areas on the flanks of Dartmoor the colossal quantity of 20 and 30 inches. To the lee of these southern ranges, on the contrary, London and Oxford had round about 5 inches and Cambridge with numerous other east Anglian and Midland places only about 3 inches.
We may recall that this very wet area which barely had a single slight frost in December 1934, lay for two or three weeks under snow in December 1933 -especially the south-western districts. Indeed the two December had little in common but dark dank days."
