all I know is that its as wet up here as I can remember for this time of year. As bad as 2012
BBC week ahead today didnt have any of todays weather on it.
Didnt look like Wed / Thurs crapness would get to us.
Chap then said it looked better from *next* weekend.
Friend of mine in Suffolk is saying worse than 2012 for him. Maybe the case but not (yet) that bad for us.

It is too early to tell if it is worse than 2012 or 1987 for us yet, suffice to say it is in with a chance.
I don't remember a year with so much nuisance rain - aside from the periodic downpours in the past few months there have been loads of days where we have had 1 or 2 mm which is neither one thing or another but made hay very tricky to get right.

2007 - rain started at end of May and was immensely wet June and upto mid July. Then dried up and the September / October dry, very dry if I recall.
2012 - followed a very dry 2011 and warm dry winter with concerns for drought in 2012. Then the rain early April, then wetter than average months April, May, June, July - and no sun. Autumn was wet in September, October, November. Then if you can recall the early Spring period of 2013 so March and April was bitterly cold with snow falling and lieing for several days in late March 2013.

Our forecast dry week ahead now looks to be mainly damp.
'You'll be unlucky to be hit by one of the heavy showers' - unlucky by living anywhere in the UK, they mean.
