Record lack of rainfall over East Surrey

Water bosses have recorded a record low for rainfall in East Surrey ahead of predictions of a long hot summer.

Sutton and East Surrey Water is calling for people to be careful with their water use after the driest three months in the area since records began in 1910.

Rainfall last month was recorded at just 16mm or 0.6 inches.

In March, the figure was even lower at 13mm or 0.52 inches.

And in April, the company said hardly any rain was registered at just 1.5mm or 0.06 inches.

A statement from Sutton and East Surrey Water confirmed: "It was the lowest recorded rainfall for April."

The statement continued: "This totals 30.5mm, or 1.18 inches, of rainfall for the past three months – less than 20% of the long-term average of 161mm, or 6.3 inches.

"The Met Office has confirmed that this has been the driest spring for 101 years."

But despite the record lack of springtime showers, the company said its boreholes, from which it draws 85% of its supplies, are only a little below average for this time of year.
