Default Summer rainfall


With autumn just 12 days away, we are very close to recording the
wettest summer on record in Coventry; with rainfall records dating
back to 1870, the wettest summer hitherto has been 1879 with 363.7mm
of rain - this summer has so far managed 358.4mm, just a shower short
of that record!

Already beaten our record Steve thanks to the overcast and wet weekend!

Wettest summers since 1931:

2007 368.4mm
2004 354.9mm
1958 338.3mm

Driest summers since 1931:

1976 34.3mm
1995 64.5mm
1959 84.5mm
