[Bowland Bob]

[kiwi pom]

2020 - 469mm
2021 - 683mm
2022 - 783mm
2023 - 577mm

Wettest month July with 126

[yellow belly]

951 mm here
3 mm short of 2019

but this year a dry Jan and feb wet since March
the average is now all over the place
last 5 years 800
last 40 years 650
long term average in the 20 century was considered to be 500
dryest year 2011 with 420 mm which is what we have had in the last 3 months

12 so far today so not letting up

looking at stats we would be better with a wet Jan and feb then dry for 2024
but we will get what we get and there is nothing we can do about it so no good worrying about it

 

[Spartacus]

North lancs on the edge of the trough of bowland (can't be far from @Bowland Bob )
2023 1564mm
2022 1311mm
2021 1503mm
2020 1912mm

So I think this year has been pretty much bang on average rainfall here.

 

[Farma Parma]

825mm here but neighbour just over a mile away says he got ni on a Metre of rain.
Deffo more than average i think were 625/650 roughly normally

Wettest year ever(since records began 1950ish)
38.9" 988mm
Beating previous record 2012 by 1.8"

I blame Brexit

 

[Godber]

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 others, a friend on Exmoor has just texted 2000 mm but his stock know how to swim.

Wettest year ever(since records began 1950ish)
38.9" 988mm
Beating previous record 2012 by 1.8"

Big difference of 180mm above for an eastern county.
651mm on the west side of Essex

 

[Flatlander]

Looks like you’ve all had more than your fair share of rain. I’m sitting at a average of 371mm fir the year. Dry start to the growing and just enough at the right time until the combine left the shed.

 

[melted welly]

1225mm for 2023 total, wettest month was October with 344mm, average oct rainfall being 86mm. Place is a sorry state, saturated ground has the winter crops in a mess, plus high winds has done for a lot of trees too. 5 mile inland from Angus coast.

[bobk]

I reckon we've had double the average , that would fit imo
And it hasn't stopped yet

 

[Paddington]

1465mm, have had slightly wetter years, but not as persistent as last year. We are at the bottom of a steep hill so 10s of 1000L of water passing through our property daily, pains me when I pay a water bill.

 

[Kiwi Pete]

Recorded 335mm here BUT some probably steamed out of the rainguage before I got to tip it. Assume more like 350mm

 

[Pan mixer]

Big difference of 180mm above for an eastern county.
651mm on the west side of Essex

I thought that too, I am not aware of exactly where @essex man is but I do know that they had substantially more rain just north of Colchester on a couple of occasions as friends who farm there told me at the time.

We are very coastal.

1350mm central Scotland. Up 80mm on year.
