Another case of the rain falling where it is just not wanted or needed.

A staggering 6.8 mm overnight at Guildford was even less than I thought would fall here. Now stopped raining and just yet another grey overcast morning with horrid raw easterly wind and temperatures just too high for snow.

This time last year we were seriously worried about the drought and wondering if it would ever rain again - this year we're wondering when this endless damp weather will end and some sunny anticyclonic conditions will materialise.

Despite such a wet period, the largest rainfall total events seem to constantly miss the west Surrey area - as through 2012. 2000~2001 was a much more eventful and wet period here than 2012~2013 has yielded.
