Haytor - a metre of rain now certain
 

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 :-)

Yes, it is probably draining down into the Somerset Levels :-(

Cheers, Alastair.

And ultimately into the sea of course, contributing to sea level rise.

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. *))

No floods here in Cheltenham so far - but coming back from Gloucester on
the bus yesterday, you're left with no doubt why certain areas are
called 'flood plains'!

Blimey, if you can't "enjoy" extreme conditions, then you need to find a new hobby.
Like many have said on here before, no-one would wish anyone's life or property to be affected by the weather, however it's inevitable.
I record the weather, not for statistical pleasure, but so I know when it's been the hottest, coldest, wettest, whatever and I "enjoy" extremes, of whatever type.
I like to look at figures from around the UK to see when I've been coldest at night, which happens fairly frequently. I "enjoyed" the fact that in December we were the driest part of the country.
My interest in the weather is not scientific but emotional and it's just a shame that you don't get that and feel the need to pick on someone who shares my emotions.

Your support is admirable, if a little obsequious. My opinion remains the same. *))

You are a very odd person indeed. Re-read then go look for a dictionary.

I feel the oddness is more in your direction David. Mainly centred around deliberate misunderstanding.

Hey ho, however; we're all entitled to our opinions.
