Default "Worst September storms for 30 years..."

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.

Ken how much did you get in the Morpeth floods of September 2008?
