Today has seen 600mm of rainfall passed. This is the earliest date for
that since I started recording rainfall in 2006. It is likely to be the
highest annual rainfall since at least that time unless we have a
remarkably dry spell from now on. If it makes 700mm that will certainly
be a lot for this dry area of the country.

Went past 700mm here a week ago. All other things being equal we are
likely to end up with 880-900mm this year, well short of the 974mm
recorded in 2000-the highest annual total since I began recording here
in 1979

665.2mm as I write, for me near Southend Airport.

0.2 hour of sun yesterday, otherwise no sun for 3 days, thoroughly misirable. Drizzle this evening is starting to total up as well.

Worrying as for the last few years mild and bright autumns have made winter seem short, this year we're not even into November and I'm feeling down with the weather :-(

To be honest, at this time of year, and for the next four months at
least, I expect it to be like this by default and any decent weather is
a bonus.

It may seem worse this year because of the rubbish summer we've just had.
