Whats your rainfall for November?

weve currently had over 70mm so far was curious to hear what everyone else has had considering many places appear to be flooding, bad drainage or just too much rainfall?

Sound s ideal and Just when you need it for growth, in the spring.


Had just shy of 350 mm here since end of Sept. Colder soil and short daylight now, so little hope of it being used for growth for a few months.

70mm would be a little over average for here.

Too much falling on already saturated soil with low infiltration rates, into full ditches.

Better drains, soil structure, earth worms, no till etc would have made no difference if more rain is falling than can be absorbed. There are lakes appearing now on ploughed and untouched fields on free draining limestone land now. It's just coming out of the sky too quickly, and finding the low points.

This is the totals for Buxton as of today:

I'm no expert when it comes to flooding but I'm guessing 6mths of over 100mm means the water has no where else to go!
Contrast to 12mths ago when we visited the Derwent dams to see the ruined village in the bottom as the water level was so low!

@Whitepeak. You had a good May........!

 

[Wombat]

The issue is not Nov but sept/Oct/Nov had half our annual rain fall (annual 600mm) in just less than 8 weeks
