According to records I found on tonbridge-weather.org.uk on August 19 in 1763 a three mile wide storm consumed Tonbridge and destroyed hop gardens, orchards and cornfields including a number of houses and farm buildings. And, to add to the strange weather over 200 years ago on June 12 in 1791 Tonbridge experienced summer snow and frost. Now last Sunday's Carnival drizzle doesn't seem so bad after all. It could have been worse.

Extreme Weather
We've been having some really odd weather recently. It's been hot when it's not supposed to be, and we've experienced one of the warmest and driest Springs on record. Now it's June we have wall to wall grey up above, and with every deluge of rain we could be moving towards a record breaking early wet summer? It's all so extreme, but it could be worse.
