ABSTRACT
In addition to the national trends, it is important to consider the weather interruptions county by county. Few studies have been undertaken at a county level, with one of the earliest attempts to assess the impact of rain in each county being undertaken by Graham Llewellyn in 1969 using match reports from Wisden.1 Llewellyn attempted to quantify the number of blank days between 1946 and 1968 in first-class matches, and from this he estimated the 'wettest county' and 'driest county' for each season, as shown in Table 17. He concluded that Lancashire was the wettest county overall, with Kent being the driest during this 23-year period.
