November is not usually the wettest month here in Haytor.

Nov 188 mm
Dec 209 mm
Jan 183 mm

are my wettest months.

This November so far I have had a paltry (poultry!!!) 42.8 mm.

At this rate the ground will be cracking up and the stand pipes will be out -
LOL.
I'm actually missing the rain and wind, not used to not having it at this time
of year. Far too quiet and boring.

Will.

Having started my VP at work about the 7th I have realised that down
here in Dorset(Milton Abbas) there has not been much rain so far.
Anyway, assuming the situation does not change much (down here anyway)
has it been a 'dry' month so far?


It certainly has been very dry (for November). Also dull & mild.

November has been the wettest month of the year since I started my records
(1991). Rainfall in Penzance is very seasonal compared with the rest of
England.

The driest November I've recorded was 71.7mm in 2001
The 1971-2000 LTA is 139.8mm

This month just 29.5mm, so the driest I've recorded by a large margin.
