Although we have a couple of days to go, and some more rain expected
too by the looks of it, our annual rainfall total of 894.0mm so far
has already made this the wettest year in Coventry since 1912
(939.6mm).

The England and Wales figure looks like just passing 1000mm,
around 7 or 8% above the 1971-2000 mean, and lower than
2004, 2002, and 2000.


I don't know how you people manage living in swamps. Just 646 mm in
this part of east Scotland so far this year, and that's not
particularly dry for here.
