Doubt that it will edge the all time driest year though, only needs just over 100mm for that, with the wettest time of year to come.

[Somerset Squall]

Despite many areas in the SW getting a deluge over the last week, my location has largely escaped meaning that October is yet another below average month rainfall wise.

January: 69.9mm

February: 39.9mm

March: 24.3mm

April: 14.0mm

May: 35.4mm

June: 50.4mm

July: 28.7mm

August: 60.8mm

September: 46.8mm

October: 51.0mm

2011 so far: 414.2mm

[Zenarcher]

Currently 949mm so far.

[SP1986]

476.8mm so far this year up to now, so below average.

[Terminal Moraine]

October recorded 68.3 mm here, 61% of average.

This brings the annual total so far up to 626.2mm, 74% of average and the driest first 10 months since 1996 which recorded 619.4 mm.

Driest of all in the last 35 years was 1991 with a Jan'-Oct' total of 617.3mm but both 1991 and 1996 had wet Novembers so it will take a wet November this year for 2011 not to record the driest first 11 months since 1975.

[TEITS]

Only 20mm fell during October in my location which brings the yearly total to 280mm. The average rainfall for my location is 600mm, so if Nov/Dec continue to be relatively dry im only going to see 50% of my average.

[Aaron]

I'm 99% certain this year will end up below 500 mm's.

2010 was also dry here, finishing off at 493 mm.

39.2mm here in October, which is 84% of normal.

That takes us to 299.0mm for the year so far, compared to 456.2mm normally to this point in the year.

[Bobby]

Autumn has finished, rainfall was more or less average. November 2011 had 175mm of rain compared to the average of ~195mm, so slightly below average (60mm in last 3-4 days saved us from quite a dry month). Autumn in all received 570mm compared to the average of 530mm, so more or less average. Yearly total so far is 1,375mm compared to average of ~1,800mm so looks to be a fairly dry year, similar to last year. Not as dry as many though.

There was only 12.6mm of rain here during November (22%), making it the driest Ive ever recorded. Autumn had just 66.8mm, making that the driest aswell.

Models do show a zonal pattern but in the areas that need the rain there really isn't all that much overall to come.

Yet another below average month, though not excessively so. Oddly, it ties January (to the tenth of a mm!) as the wettest month of the year, despite being below average. A testiment to the dry year 2011 has been (August is the only month to not be below average).

Just 40.4 mm last month and a total of 459.4 mm so far this year. The driest year was 1975 with 521.2 mm so anything below 61.8 mm of rain a new record will be made. Average for Dec is 91.5 mm
