Up to 1800 10th my February total stands at 147.1mm .

My "winter" DJF total is now 923.1 mm.

A record metre (1000mm) of rain this winter is now certain, but how much
more than a metre?

I must be the wettest place in England apart from a few higher spots on
Dartmoor?
Cool eh?
No problems with flooding either, free draining soil is still workable :-)


Yes, it is probably draining down into the Somerset Levels :-(


No floods here in Cheltenham so far - but coming back from Gloucester on
the bus yesterday, you're left with no doubt why certain areas are
called 'flood plains'!
