Defining 'wet'

It's difficult to appreciate what I mean by Robertson being a bit 'wet' without some measure of comparison to put it in perspective. Let's try this...

England (universally accepted as a soggy place) just recorded their wettest summer since records began in 1766 - with about 387.6 mm of rain falling in the 3 month period from May to July. 

Robertson's last summer recorded 605.4mm over the three summer months. We won't have an accurate reading for the winter months this year because the local rain gauge only holds 500mm and it spilled over recently before the end of the monthly measuring period.
