Pat,
Not really. However a you can see on http://www.ayrshireroots.com/Genealogy/Reference/Plagues%20z.htm there was a famine in 1555 due to excessively wet weather. Bad harvests continued until 1589.
 
On http://www.history-people.co.uk/stuart_witchunts.html : "Poor harvests in the 1620’s and 30’s added to the country’s problems. Then in 1642 the English Civil War broke out affecting everyone, so what do we do ?, we look for some one to blame. In come the witches."

Hi all
 In researching my witchcraft paper and keeping with the mold theory and polio outbreak. Browsing throug Mac Farlane  Witchcraft In Tudor and Stuart England it appear to be an extremely wet season between 1580-89 when the trials escalation. I get this impression from  reading that several buildings collapse from flooding and drownings too.
Then in 1620 the trials abruptly stopped.
Any sources to give me the weather conditions between lets say 1570-1590 were they extremly wet to support the mold theory.
You can email me personally [log in to unmask] if you come up with anything.
