It looks as if the month will end with just 53.0mm of rain, 15% below
the 30-year average for Coventry. It may well be the driest December
locally since
2005 (42.8mm), though in December 2004 we only recorded 19.8mm all
month.

Even so, we are still heading for one of the wettest years on record
in Coventry with 890.9mm of rain, 33% higher than average in our
region. This is just a little lower than the 2007 rainfall total
(894.2mm), but otherwise our wettest year since 1912, and the third
highest *rainfall
total since 1895.

Not a wet year down here, 97% of the 1971-2000 norm (Mind you July had
306% of the normal rainfall.) It's also been warmer than the 1971-2000
norm. by 0.4C. Coolest year since 2000 - both 11.7C.
