You doing well Dave,
Since August 1st we've had over 150mm including 22mm this week!!
Well over 100mm for each of the so called summer months (413mm in total)

413 mm!
That's dry, try 676 mm :-)

and over 40 mm so far for this month, so I for one am sick of the damn
stuff.
Whatever happened to the warm dry September, the last week as been
anything
but warm & dry here.

It was you that had an incredibly dull summer as well IIRC.

In contrast to the summer, September has been dry here in Sussex/Surrey.
Hardly any significant rain in the last three weeks.

Not much rain here in Haytor either - a mere 9.1mm

Yes Adam dullest Summer on record here as well as the wettest.
September may still be giving us plenty of rain but at least we've had some
decent sunnier days,
with over 93 hours hours so far this month.
Summer months only managed:

June 49.9 hrs
July 93.4 hrs
August 75.4 hrs

Pretty dire really.

......And just up the road from you Graham, the corresponding figures for
Tideswell we

June 47.7 hrs
July 82.8 hrs
August 67.0 hrs

Certainly not a summer in this neck of the woods for the sun lovers :-( As you
say, September has brought sunnier days than the summer months did.

Have the farmers near you been significantly affected by this?
