Nothing unusual though as, like you, we are used to it, but I know we have
had a far drier summer than you!

This is the wettest year to the end of August since we moved here in
August 2002 with 1471.4mm so far this year. However, I'm quite pleased
that I'm no longer fit enough to cut the grass!

Here are previous year totals to the end of August:-

YEAR mm
2003 982.6
2004 1160.8
2005 1144.4
2006 924.0
2007 1231.4
2008 1340.2
2009 1366.6
2010 833.8
2011 1366.6
2012 1192.4
2013 907.8
2014 1432.2
2015 1471.4 so far

Plotting them, there's a slight upward trend although I suspect that the
sample is too small to make any meaningful conclusions.
