Whats the weather like near you?

Cold North Easterly wind with light rain in it now and then . Patchy grey sky .

Been a bit quiet on here lately.

 

Proper wild winters day today with rain and gale. A foot of rain last month and another 8" so far this month. Reservoirs all topped up and could now do with a break now.

500mm of rain in the last 6-7 weeks? Blimey that is a lot. Certainly feels relentless. Looking forwards to Christmas break from it now.

Yes not good at the moment dark grey and wet  , alot  of heavy rain this morning haven’t seen Dartmoor for a couple of days

It’s intersting actually. Beau seems to have 325mm of rain in a month near Tavy. Plymouth weather stations are mostly recording sub 200mm that’s a big difference in such a small distance. Must get one up here in Princetown although might just make me depressed!

Nearest I can find near me in elevation is Holne and that’s saying 466mm in a month- surely that’s not right???

It does sound a bit high. This guys site should be trustworthy as he used to work for the met office but it's a bit far east for you. http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Haytor/automatic/Current_Vantage_Pro.htm

Could easily be. The gauge on the Isle of Skye regularly records more than 500mm in a month. It's been amazingly wet lately, and even in Cullompton it's been more than 300mm

If it's any consolation to you West Country boys it's lashing it down and blowing a gale here in East Anglia.
