Will 2012 get anywhere near the top 3, Len, if it rains 3 inches for the last 6 months of this year? Joe Wolverhampton. |

Webcam and weather:- http://windycroft.co.uk/weather The 1st 6 months of 2012 here (Penzance) have seen 462.8mm of rain, 84% of the 1981-2010 normal. June did not make up for the exceptionally dry 1st 3 months which saw approx 40% of normal rainfall. In contrast 2001 saw more rain (491mm) in just the 1st 3 months! The 1st 6 months of this year are the 5th driest in my 21 years of records. So a very wet June, (though June '93, '97', '98 & 2007 were all wetter) but a dry year so far. Graham Penzance |

Wonder if you're the wettest place that reports regularly on here? Ken Copley, Teesdale (rain shadow country normally) |

Joe Wolverhampton. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due to the dry Feb and March, the total rain for the first 6 months of 2012 is not so remarkable. England and Wales data back to 1766: 487.6 mm this year, average 395.6 mm. That's 122%. So to beat the record wet of 1284.9 mm in 1872, we need 797.3 mm (31.4 ins). That is 133 mm (5.24 ins) per month for the next 6 months. Not very likely IMO. Len Wembury, SW Devon |
