    Some surprising stats for our region as regards to exceptionally wet Aprils. The wettest April on record is 1970, which is not a year I suspect many would choose if they had to guess. There have been only 6 years where at least 100mm was recorded and neither April 2000 nor 2012 reached that mark. For England and Wales as a whole, they are the two wettest Aprils on record. Two that did get to the 100mm mark were surprisingly April 1947 and 1949. Another surprise is that April 2005 was almost as wet as April 2012. Got to say I don't recall much about April 2005 apart from that very short wintry interlude at the end of the first week.

    A short-eared owl on Chat Moss, a number of them decided to winter on the Moss.

    26 years ago, the heaviest snow I have seen during April.

    The two thing that stood out for me from that summer of 2009 were the amazing noctilucent cloud displays and the volcanic sunsets. Both visually beautiful. Funny old summer, it wasn't brilliant but IMO, better overall than its two predecessors.

    The current regional rainfall total is ridiculous for April. We are not even halfway through April and we are already in the top 40 wettest Aprils on record for the region after just 11 days. April is one of the driest months of the year on average for our region.

    Countryfile gave its summary of summer 2002
  8. Weather-history
    Believe it or not, the period July 2023 - to now, is wetter than the whole of last year and last year was the 6th wettest year on record for the region...

    Got to say I don't recall this event but it looked very potent for the time of the year

    Already a wetter than average April for the region. Hopefully this washout period will be coming to an end soon.

    Rain Lady I’m using the Met Office’s own regional divisions as you then compare with previous years.

    The grim stats 1264.5mm since the start of July last year until the 4th April for the region. There were only 8 years that were wetter than this for the region. Just 8 years and that is a 12 month period.

    Raining...again

    reef Seen a newspaper report from 9th May 1938, saying that the Hull district had only recorded 3 and 1/2 inches of rain that year so far.

    toggerob I think after the 2026 eclipse, it will be a long time before some part of the British Isles experiences a 90%+ solar eclipse. I think the next occasion is 2081.

    Parts of Mexico, USA and Canada are going to be treated to a total solar eclipse on Monday. It will probably be the most widely viewed total solar eclipse in history with so many populated sites being in the total path such as the Forth Worth-Dallas, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Buffalo Parts of the western British Isles will see a partial eclipse close to sunset.

    1133.6mm for the EWP since the start of July last year until the end of March An annual total of that amount would make that the 11th wettest year on record
  20. Weather-history
    April 1978 was a cold month (CET: 6.5°C) with a particularly potent wintry snap around the 10th/11th that brought severe frosts and disruptive snowfalls
  21. Weather-history
    1252.3mm of rainfall for the region up to the 3rd April since 1st July last year..........
