Climate comparisons

You might be surprised to learn that the average annual rainfall at Green Pastures is 13% higher than that in London! Let me show you the statistics:

London's average rainfall is 621 mm (nearly 26 inches).

Green Pastures' average rainfall is 702 mm (a little over 29 inches).

So why do we get droughts and you don't?

Firstly it's because we get our rain exclusively in the first months of the year where as in the UK it is evenly spread throughout the year.

Secondly it's because our average temperature is 25,5ºC where as London's is 11.1ºC. This means that evaporation of the reservoirs here is a massive problem which is not so in the UK. For 7 or 8 months of the year we get no rain at all with belting temperatures evaporating the lot. All we need are a few below average rainfall years and we are in serious trouble like now! Virtually the whole of the State of Paraíba where EAB's headquarters are is in a major water supply crisis.

So the next time you feel like moaning about the rain please turn the moans into prayer for parts of the world like NE Brazil where people have great difficulty getting water at all. That's why EAB drills so many wells.
