2023 was the wettest year here since I began keeping records in 1963. The total was 1467.8 mm which is 134% of the 30 year average and comfortably above the previous wettest in 2012 which recorded 1392.1 mm. Taking a series of 5 year averages from the 1960s to present, annual rainfall has increased by around 20% since the late 1970s/early 80s. December was the wettest month I've recorded at this site with 256.9mm and, looking back at my other local records, was the wettest month since December 1965 which would have recorded about 275 mm here.
