In the England and Wales series going back to 1766 here at the top
three:

1. 1284.9 mm in 1872
2. 1247.3 mm in 1768
3. 1232.5 mm in 2000

Not really representative but for interest, last year, 2011, we recorded
2538.0 mm, 131% of our nine year average of 1936.0 mm.

The 1st 6 months of 2012 here (Penzance) have seen 462.8mm of rain, 84% of the 1981-2010 normal. June did not make up for the exceptionally dry 1st 3 months which saw approx 40% of normal rainfall.

In contrast 2001 saw more rain (491mm) in just the 1st 3 months! The 1st 6 months of this year are the 5th driest in my 21 years of records.

So a very wet June, (though June '93, '97', '98 & 2007 were all wetter) but a dry year so far.
