I've compared the Wigley & Atkinson data a little better with the scPDSI for Kew. Turns out that the correlation between the records is -0.68. The PDF of scPDSI is nicely normal, that of the Wigley&Atkinson data not. About the IPCC chapter 3 conclusions: you're referring to conclusion that the increase in drought over Europe due to global warming? Sure, if possible I'd like to stay with you. If there is no bed to spare, then I'd be equaly happy to book a B&B though.
