Default The rain in Spain falls mainly on Gibraltar!!!

I've only been forecasting the weather at Gibraltar for over a year now,
but I can't help the feeling that I've jinxed it and that the jet decided
to follow me south!

Rainfall accumulations for December, January and now February have all far
outstripped the mean monthly rainfall.
February (so far ) by over 500%.

Winter 2009-2010 has now set a new record for the wettest winter ( records
began in 1947 ).

From the beginning of December 2009 to 09Z this morning, the 24th
February, Gibraltar has accumulated 1366.8mm.
Funnily enough the previous wettest was the winter of 1962-1963 which saw
931.6mm, which reminds me of another snowy winter for the UK...hmmm??
