The rainfall at London created a 14year record for March. Heavy falls are reported throughout 'Britain. Most parts had only a single rainless day since March 9. It is hoped, in view of the Australian cricketers’ visit, that weather history, recalled in an Air Ministry survey, will not repeat itself this summer. 'Pile survey mentions that the failure of the winter rain is the most remarkable since .1879, when an exceptionally dry winter was followed by a very wet summer.
