After a dry start to the month, the last few weeks have been very wet. However, the areas that have seen the most rainfall have been in the east, when normally it's more western areas.

Hi Nick, informative post as always.
I believe however one of the map graphics is incorrect, the "Actual rainfall totals so far this month" on your post. (which shows different figures to if you go directly to the quoted source of starling roost weather)
An example, which shows Wattisham in the east having over 300% of rain totals in the percentage anomaly map directly above, but (what i believe to be the incorrect) image below claiming yet only 65mm of rain so far this october? instead of the 213.8mm which the link to the source displays as it's recorded October rainfall so far (

I only noticed this because I was looking near my sisters (she'd said they thought they'd had way more rain than usual) and found it hard to believe the october monthly rainfall for anywhere in east anglia was implied by these two graphics to be sub 25mm?!
