LTA = 1981-2010 average for the month, season or year in question at that particular station.
We are more than a quarter of the way through this month now, but we have only had less than a quarter of our 1981-2010 January average rainfall so far during this month, so this has been a fairly dry month until now.
With the models appearing to back away from the idea of next week being milder, that would also probably result in it remaining rather dry as any milder weather would probably be likely to bring wetter weather with it.
As a result of that, it is now already looking as though this month may well be on course to end up being our first significantly drier than average winter month since February 2019.
