Mum and Dad today moved 10 miles down the road to the outskirts of Rugby, so putting an end to almost 30 years rainfall records from the Coventry site:

1982-2011 Walsgrave.pdf

They only have a very small garden area now, but as its a bungalow, it may still prove reasonably accurate for measuring the rain!

Mean annual rainfall very similar there to Coventry too.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

At this moment, we've had 182.6mm of rain this year, which is almost exactly 25% of last year's total. It's not so much that this year is wet, but last year was so dry.

A rather dry start to the year here with just 18.4mm so far. January was the driest Ive ever recorded with 17.6mm.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Just passed the 200mm mark for the year so far.

Normal service is resumed.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Since 4pm on Thursday we've received 148.2mm of rain (and sleet this evening), making the past 5 days the second wettest period I've recorded since moving to Great Asby. In rank order, the wettest 5 day periods have been:-

January 5th to 9th 2005 - 193mm

February 3rd to 7th 2011 - 148mm

November 17th to 21st 2009 - 145mm (just a small part of that month's staggering total of 421.8mm!)

August 8th to 12th 2004 - 116mm

January 10th to 14th 2009 - 107mm

Looking wet for the end of the week too!

[Terminal Moraine]

Can't compete with those stat's OON but we have had the wettest first week in February since 1990.

53.0 mm in the first 7 days which represents 68% of the 30 year mean for the whole month.

[Polar Continental]

Amazing TM, just 20 miles from your area as the crow flies, and only 2.4mm.

That's a big difference, Paul. You must have missed all the rain last Saturday, it did look as though you were on the very edge of it on the radar.

Just as big a difference going north, Buxton had almost 63 mm when we got 37.

[Paul Sherman]

Very Wet Start to the year here in SE Essex with 100.1mm in January which is 201.0 % of Average. Not much rain for February yet with just 0.6mm in 9 days

[Dorsetbred]

65mm in January

And

71.5mm so far this month from the sunny south coast.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

I was hoping for a couple of mm today to make it past 300mm for the year, but alas, only 0.4mm so far.

[reef]

Still only 39.4mm here in 2011. The 1971-2000 average up to this point in the year is around 68mm, so we're well under.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Passed the 300mm mark for the year within the last hour.

[Static Prevails]

196.3mm so far this year, despite a rather dry January.

Just 38.6mm in January, while we've had a very wet start to February with 157.7mm.

Another two below average winter months. Last above average month here was October. So a rather dry winter compared with the MetO ocal average.

I only have rainfall data for my garden back to 2008, but Jan is my driest and Feb my joint driest.

Only 85mm approx here to date so far with two slightly below/below average months. As usual, Central areas seem to be the driest. Even the East seems to have higher totals than here.

[Andy Bown]

Only 2.5mm in March so far, maybe some to come on Thursday (the 17th) but then more dry after that!

A dry March, saved from being extremely dry by the last few days rain.

January: 69.9mm
