Just heard the weather of the last couple of days described on BBC radio as
the "...worst September storms for 30 years...", which, if true, sort of
answers my previous question of just how unusual is this sort of weather.
Added to the year when we were crying 'drought' at the end of winter,
experiencing 'summer' in spring, the dire weather that pervaded throughout
the summer months, and now the worst September storms in 30 years. It's
almost like a living nightmare of Daily Express front-page headlines!
Anyone like to hazzard a guess as to what might arrive on our doorsteps for
the closing months of 2012?

Hi, david,
In this part of Teesdale, not a long way from you, with 111.1mm it has been
the biggest rainfall event that I have recorded since September 1976 which
had 126.0mm, so 36 years.
