  1. Here are the average rainy days per year, 1961-1990 and 1991-2020:
  2. Following on from my post above, it does actually seem as though the average number of days with rainfall each year HAS increased, but only by a little for London. 106 days per year between 1961-1990 to 111 days between 1991-2020. Not much in the grand scheme of things, possibly within the margin around a mean. So what’s more likely is more intense rainfall during wet spells.
  3. kold weather that is quite telling. I have a hunch this is down to more intense rainfall during wet spells rather than more frequent wet weather. But could be wrong.
  4. CryoraptorA303 yes it switched very quickly in 2018. BFTE, mini BFTE, a very wet and cool end to March and start to April and then a sudden switch to warm/hot and sunny. We didn’t look back after that, and the Summer was a classic.
  5. 2017 was very front loaded. A very hot spell in June, some more hot weather in early July but the Summer then faded away. 13th-26th June was very good. Early July had temperatures between the low/mid 20's to low 30's up until the 18th. Late July and August were poor. Cooler than average right through the second half of the Summer.
  6. Unless you are just a fan of cool weather, I just don't understand why some people are happy to see a late season SSW. All it does is increase the chances of a cold Spring, without really giving us what we craved in winter, which is copious amounts of snow. Cool, wet, showery. No thank you.
  7. kold weather The Met Office anomaly maps do show rain days above 0.2mm, above 1mm and above 10mm and how that compares to the long term average, but only month by month rather than on an annual basis.
  8. CryoraptorA303 yep that explains it. November and September too.
  9. Terminal Moraine I wonder if it’s a case of the wet spells being exceptionally wet, compared to historical averages, rather than it uniformly being wetter all year long. Looking at the anomalies over the last 15 years, there are more drier than average than wetter than average years for many areas. However, within those wetter years/spells, the rainfall totals may have been very high which then increases the overall average.
  10. A couple of localised patches very slightly above. It may be as simple as a couple of summer thunderstorms in those areas upping the totals.
  11. kold weather No doubt, extremes of wet and heat are increasing in intensity, frequency and longevity. But are we becoming much wetter overall? Not so sure. We also get lengthy dry spells. In 2022 we were parched.
  12. 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.
  13. Summer8906 2020 seems to have been very localised to coastal Hampshire in terms of below average sunshine, look at the rest of the south where it was above average, significantly so in some areas:
