Eerily similar to you, we had a drier December and drier March, but more in April, 613mm here for the year.

edit, that's about 225mm below "average" to save looking it up

err, don’t have any hard numbers, but our “average” is around 600mm

the last few years have been less, with 2019 only about 200 mm

however, we did have well over 300 mm this November

Just looking at your November rainfall - we had that in one night here in November
Yeah we had a lot in May all but about 5 of the 189mm fell in 4 days.
This December has been unusual for us because it hasn't all fallen in a couple of days, so it does more good, crops looking pretty good and not so much irrigation. (y) Although a couple of 30 degree norwest days suck the moisture out pretty quick.

Similar rainfall pattern to you through the year. 822mm in total with half of that falling in the 3 months of Jan, May, and December. March, April, and June were dry months.

21 total-797.5mm, which is 153.5mm more than the 30 year av @ 644mm.
Another wet year in this part of North Yorkshire.
May was the killer month, not only the total rain fall, but with 4 nights of frost, which came after a cold and frosty April, with 26 nights of frost.

I've only been recording since October so no annual amount.
One of the higher rainfall areas of the UK here so I've never really wanted to record rain as it's a stressor you can do nowt about, but if you're gifted a setup, what can you do.

Anyhow:
October 1075mm
November 156mm
December. 468mm

So 3 month total of 1699mm or 66"

I record weekly and the gauge overflowed this week before I got to it so 88+ for this week gives a total of 1836.
Six individual weeks recorded 0. Wettest week was end of September at 146. 3weeks end April and 1st week of May totaled 1mm. Following week, 95mm!
Average seems to be about 1 3/4 metres.
Happy New Year everyone.
