After this morning's deluge - the summer (JJA) rainfall total at Haytor
stands at 667 mm . Can anybody top that? Somebody in Suffolk or Essex maybe? :-) Will -- http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...antage_Pro.htm Will Hand (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) --------------------------------------------- |

Somebody in Suffolk or Essex maybe? :-) Will -- http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...antage_Pro.htm Will Hand (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) --------------------------------------------- Wow, 372.2mm in Penzance up to 09:00 today. My wettest Summer was 1997 with 394.3mm. That record may remain. Summer here has not been quite as bad as a bit further up the peninsula, probably down to the prevalent unstable nature, rather than well organised fronts. As a result sunshine at both Camborne & nearby Morvah was 100% of the norm in July (Morvah, 5 miles away 208.3 hours 106.8% norm.) But it has been very wet. August started well, but has been very dull in the 2nd half. Total rainfall so far 128mm, this compares 236.9mm in 1997. June was the real shocker sunshine wise, though the rainfall @ 113.4mm was well short of a record. Graham Penzance |

The vital word 'sunshine' (after 'Morvah') was missing in my last post!

Somebody in Suffolk or Essex maybe? :-) Cannot top that but it still has been very wet here too. Summer (JJA) rainfall now up to 369 mm, that's 290% of my eLTA. -- Nick G Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |

According to the Teignmouth weather station the Jun/Jul/Aug total is currently around 440mm. I know it's been wet, but I find it hard to believe that Teignmouth has been wetter than Haytor, though Dawlish's total is around 360mm.
Teignmouth weather station http://www.teignmouthweather.co.uk/past_3months.html Dawlish weather station: to 17th Aug 336mm + 14mm today June http://www.dawlishweather.co.uk/holcombe_jun_12_sum.htm July http://www.dawlishweather.co.uk/holcombe_jul_12_sum.htm August to 17th http://www.dawlishweather.co.uk/holcombe_aug_12_sum.htm Today http://www.dawlishweather.co.uk/currentweather.htm |

Teignmouth's had a very wet summer, Jun/Jul/Aug total is currently around 440mm, though not quite as wet as Haytor.

Does not compete with Haytor or Evershot but still likely to be a record for Wembury. It is amazing that Haytor has 240 mm more when it is only 40 km away as the pigeon flies. Not only due to elevation clearly. Weather systems have been doing funny things this summer. I believe it is called ECWOLEXIT.

After this morning's deluge (14.6 mm) my JJA total is 420.6 mm. Does not compete with Haytor or Evershot but still likely to be a record for Wembury. It is amazing that Haytor has 240 mm more when it is only 40 km away as the pigeon flies. Not only due to elevation clearly. Weather systems have been doing funny things this summer. I believe it is called ECWOLEXIT. Enhanced Convergence Where One Least Expects IT or, Enhanced Convergence Where One Left EXITs for the initiated. Len Wood Wembury, SW Devon, 83 m asl I once got detailed rainfall figures from the EA for around 40 sites around Cornwall, most with 15 years of records, and then plotted average annual rainfall for various periods. What became apparent was that the overwhelming controlling factor for rainfall variance (in Cornwall - nowhere near as much in Devon) was distance from the spine of the county, altitude being a very 2ndary factor. In fact if you had no knowledge of orographic rainfall and were presented with the map I doubt if you'd give any real thought to altitude being a significant factor. A few examples:- Culdrose (85m) 1961-1990 LTA 1032mm Penzance (19m) 1961-1990 LTA 1140mm Penzance being affected by convergence along the spine. By far the driest spots are headlands, though over exposure (of the meteorological type, for the more interesting variety head for Pedn-Vounder near Porthcurno http://www.naturist-holiday-guide.co...favourite.html )can reduce recorded rainfall at these sites. Nearby Porthcurno (55mm) therefore LTA 955mm, Lizard (also 55m) 805.9mm Michaelstowe @ 114m on the NW edge of Bodmin Moor, but away from the 'spinal convergence zone' has an LTA of 1165mm, virtually identical to Penzance. Move to Altarnum, not greatly higher (167m) but on the convergence line, LTA 1581mm. Sorry if your eyes have glazed over, I'm a bit of an anorak for rainfall figures. Been mainly sunny here since 11:00 (now 16:45) Graham Penzance |
