It's clearly been a very wet last 12 months or so, but are we actually getting that much wetter as a country? Here are the anomalies since 2010:
This is region specific, but if I look at my area, 9 out the 14 years here had close to average or less than average rainfall. 5 of the years - 2012, 2014, 2020, 2021 and 2023 had notably higher than average rainfall for the year. Granted, 3 of the 5 years have come in the last 4, but these things do come in spells and nothing more I think can be read into it than coincidence.
