Rainfall Statistics, 2012

[Terminal Moraine]

The total here is now 125.4mm making it the 5th wettest April in the last 35 years. Next in line is 1998 which recorded 131.6 mm.

[Aaron]

68.5mm

Wettest month since February 2011.. will we approach 100mm I wonder?

April 2008 had 104mm, and up to the 24th, we had 70mm, similar to the total now, so it's possible, we just need one more big deluge. Or two.

106.5 mm here so far should get a good top up tomorrow as well.

[Weather-history]

Now the wettest April since 2004 for England and Wales

[Evening thunder]

We had about 28mm here on Monday which brought the total for the month up to about 65mm, then late yesterday we had a spell of heavy rain from slow moving showers which ended with torrential rain and impressive hail, giving another 10mm

Already got over an inch of rain today with rain at the moment and heavy showers expected throughout the day. This means the months total has just exceeded 100mm which seemed a bit far fetched just a week ago. Possibly some heavy rain at the weekend or early next week too.

Already up to 130mm for the month, wettest since November 2009

Depending on whether I catch some potent showers over the next few day's will decide whether I beat November 2009 which recorded 170mm.

[DeepSnow]

So far this year I have had 288.3mm of rain, with pleanty more looking likely over the next week!

[kold weather]

Good frontal rains in the last few days, with more to come this weekend. Its probably going to help with regards to the drought conditions I'd have thought though on its own its not going to be enough to be able to lift any hosepipe bans, not even close...

[Dorsetbred]

_{So far down here on the coast we've had 79.4 mm (3.13 in.)}

_{Long way to go to recover the annual shortage of 200+mm}

[Aaron]

Month is now up to 80.5mm and still going up.. loving this. Shame we couldn't get out first 100mm month since 2009 though.

[sunny scunny]

Heavy rain for the last 10 mins and it's now upto 100mm for the month.

[Weather-history]

Its looks as though its going to be the wettest April since either 2000 or 2001 for England and Wales

[Terminal Moraine]

The April total here is now 159.5 mm making it the wettest April on record and, going by the Buxton record, probably the wettest locally since 1920.

The previous record here was 156.0mm in 2000. 8.4 mm required to take this month into the top twenty wettest months of all.

[Polar Maritime]

[TonyH]

Just over 100mm so far here, wet for April, but not compared to our wettest months (300mm).

Over 80mm at parents in Rugby.

[reef]

Up to 99.0mm here now which is the wettest since 2000 and looking at the Hull figures probably the 4th wettest locally in 165 years.

[Aaron]

There we have it, 100mm
