Does anyone even care that it doesn't rain anymore?

Since the start of March there’s been 16.9mm of rain in London. The average rainfall in this period is approximately 400mm.

So that means something like 96% of our rain has just plain disappeared out of the sky. Why is nothing being done about this? Snipe demands that somebody take action.
