    2023 rain totals.

    Sorry if this is elsewhere. Over here in (historically) sunny Essex we have a long term average of 495 mm. We had 662mm in 2021 making it a wet year, 432 in 2022 making it a dry year. This year we have been 'lucky' to receive 808mm which is a cool 163% of normal. How about some of you...
