Local records to beat is:
136.5mm November 1970 (& 133.6mm) 2 different locations.
113.8mm November 1974
103.6mm November 1969



116.6mm as of 08:40 this morning, that now knocks the 1974 total into
touch, 20mm to beat the 1970 total and a 40 year record.


Ok, now that my 24 hours has just turned (18hr to 18hr), this is how
things stand after a steady fall of rain over the last hour or so
leaving todays total at 25.6mm (The magic inch)

November total thus far 125.8mm, so I'm looking at 10.8mm in the next
24 hours to beat the 1974 total of 136.5mm ~ Come on!


**Eureka**

With a further 13.2mm overnight the November total now stands at
139.0mm, which now beats 1970.


Record well and truly broken with the total ending up as 143.0mm for
November 2009.

This is also 'my' second wettest month after narrowly being beaten by
January 1988 which saw 147.6mm.
