I'm making the most of the exciting weather today!
Lashing heavy rain, wind howling, camper van rocking and being rain-blasted
clean in the garden before it all gets dull, cloudy, dry, flat-lined
temperature and boring soon.

Will be almost 400 mm rain this December here in Haytor, (that's probably
almost half a years total for places in the SE LOL). Annual rainfall will be
over 2.2 metres and that is after a dry Feb (33mm) and a dry March (33mm).
Full figures this evening.

If only this high pressure would come in July, but you can bet the highs and
lows will be swapped around in July - LOL.

Another blast of rain is hitting the windows .......
At least it is mild :-)

It's over half of my normal annual total (675) here in sheltered Shropshire!

Nearly a whole year here sometimes Will! Don't think I'm quite going to
make 800mm this year although certainly record breaking.

No records broken here. December total will be about 137 mm (162
mm, 2002) and for the year about 1045 mm (1101 mm, 2000). These will
be the second highest in each case. Annual mean here (30 yrs) is 815
mm, probably rather higher than most people would have thought.

It was a bit higher than I expected but examination shows similar to
those around you, perhaps you are just at the higher end. I suppose what
is more surprising is that it is 50% higher than the 560mm here, given
the relative closeness, the even more surprising 29 miles, meteorologically.

Nice that half litre would have saved the coral off Mentawa Island in
1997/8 had it quenched the forest fires.

Still, better late than never, eh?
Mustn't grumble.
