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 :-)

Not really cool at all, Will (your question mark invited comment). Why anyone would actually enjoy these conditions is a mystery to me and to everyone else except for a select few like yourself. *))


Extreme weather is spectacular to those who have an interest in
meteorology, that doesn't mean one can't have empathy for those who are
suffering because of it, and it doesn't mean one would enjoy such
destruction happening to their own property.
