That set my mind thinking. If there is 1m of rain (1000 mm) in a year that
means that over 1 sq m the total fall will be 1 tonne of water. Therefore over
1 sq km the total amount of water in a year will be 1 million tonnes. That's an
impressive total - or have I got my sums wrong?!

Here, 16 miles south of you, we're at 969mm. Only 18 yesterday, though ;-)

Nope and it's all come from clouds floating in the sky...

Here in East Bristol (typical suburban garden exposure) we exceeded our
highest calendar year figure since 1987 early yesterday. 2012 figure is
currently 1288 mm (beating 1255.5 mm in 2000).

Figures accurate. It's equivalent to 2 ml per square metre per
minute. So why do we get floods?

1st Jan - 23rd Dec 2012 = 1142 mm.

My 'estimated' LTA is around 800 to 850 mm, so this really has been a
wet year, and to think it was really dry until the 23rd of April.

I am not far from you, and mine is 1350mm, which is made more dramatic by the fact that only 100mm fell between 1 Jan and 31 Mar this year.
