Very interesting:

MET wrote:Climate change predictions for rainfall in the summer season are for a 10-15% decrease
in rainfall in the 2020-2060 timeframe, which might seem at odds with summer 2008;
there are also predictions of more frequent intense rainfall events. The extreme rainfall
experienced during the summer of 2008 cannot be attributed to climate change. The
totals recorded fit within the range of natural variability, which is greater that the global
warming â€˜signalâ€™ at our geographic location.
