More than a foot ! ........and in Copley, 152.4mm (203%)which is exactly 6", enough for any man (;0). It is also 152.4mm too much rain!

Hi Will,
some decent downpours over the past three days have boosted the Exeter monthly total to about half a foot! 27th 16.9 mm 28th 20.3 mm 29th 14.9 mm This is also around 2" over the three days, a lot for the Exeter rain shadow area! I guess that's it for the month unless we get any showers today though, cheers, Pete SE Exeter Will wrote: Yes the heavy rain (circa 2") in past couple of days has now increased my monthly rainfall total for October 2004 to 314.1 mm.

To celebrate I will be pouring myself half a shandy this evening :-) The heaviest I ever experienced was when working in Brunei and on Labuan Island in Sabah. In 6 months of the year Labuan averages over 300 mm per month. The wettest is October, averaging 465 mm. Further down the coast, Kuching in Sarawak averages 610 mm in January. I recall some extremely wet days with incessant torrential rain. The intensity almost becomes frightening. Norman.

Ecstatic cheers, I have recorded 307mm this month. This is also the highest monthly rainfall total I have ever recorded but I only started recording in October 2003.

Water still flowing off the moor down the road even this afternoon, and some local roads still have floodwater, mostly from seepage off fields/moor etc. Massive lakes in Powderham castle grounds and the road out of Starcross going along by the river Exe was under 3 foot of water and impassable this morning.

I never reached it at Penistone, I think 290 ish was the highest. There were times when it would have been achieved though across 2 months, as it were. EG I recall 283.6 between 30th July and 9th August 2002. Currently 143.8 for this dry area and I don't anticipate any more. -- David Mitchell, 70m amsl, Langtoft, East Riding of Yorkshire. |
