After four dry months, the reservoirs were very low. The Water Authority were not worried as they knew we would have some wet weather and it came in October ! 
Apart from December 2015 (554mm) it was one of the three wettest months I have recorded. The empty reservoirs helped to prevent major flooding but now they are full so the next rain event could be a problem.
