Blimey, we've only had 2.8mm so far this month.

I expect Steve B's amount so far this month is down to downpours along the Bristol Channel area Saturday night / yesterday.

Correct Andy, plenty of showers yesterday, coupled with the rainfall today.

Crumbs 500mm for April to June in a not especially wet area! And 2 inches for the first 36 hours of July...

I would say we are a fairly wet area, on the Bristol Channel & at the mercy of the westerly lows rolling in from the atlantic.

Phew that was close.

[Weather-history]

Phew that was close.

Needs to go through the quality control wash before we get the final figure, so it may have just surpassed it but we will find out.

[recklessabandon]

I think the METO are about to push it over the line officially.....

[Bottesford]

With almost 40mm here today we're already on to beating most of those figures by the 6th!

[Rustynailer]

Noah will be gathering animals two by two if it keeps this up. Still, weather in all its veriety is so interesting.

Although, I don't like thaught of Mr Data's 192.9mm Aug 1912 record, as our curent 160.3mm Jun 2012 record is bad enough with its disruption.

[sunny scunny]

Already upto 83.6mm for the month.

[Mapantz]

I was just going through some of my weather archives.

I got to the 500mm total on December 15th last year.

This year, i've exceeded 550mm within 7 months.
