158.7 1990

155.4 2002

150.6 1937

325% of the average!  The old  February record was only about 88th of all time wettest months on record. Its now at the moment the 9th wettest.

This might interest yourself and Stephen Prudence

From Paulo of UKWeatherworld

"Heswall total was 135.2mm. This makes it the wettest February on record since records began in the C19th! Previous record was 1977 with 133mm.

27.4mm on 15th was the wettest day. There were 10 days with hail, the most since 1988. Thunder and lightning noted on 16th."

Thanks, yes noticed quick an uptick in hail shame it wasn't snow.

Well, that was a pretty forgettable 'winter' - and February, to use a phrase from Blackadder 4, 'was the crowning turd in the waterpipe'.  

I'd like to request some dry and still weather for the next few months please.....I'm not that optimistic.

Surprise albeit brief hail shower here, didn't think there would be anything after checking a lifeless radar last hour but a few small showers have popped up.  Still a mainly sunny, dry and fresh feeling day.

Not sure why it was kept as a named storm ?

Spent the night visiting friends in the midlands, was a little windy but nothing stormy, saw a little snow around lunchtime today too, but mostly sunshine and very little wind travelling the M6, the sun is starting to get warmer now too so I guess that's it for winter and time to look forward to hoping we get some summer thunderstorms

Technically not a dry day today, of course. We had a rain shower earlier, of course.

Great minds... I was thinking of the exact same line. And believe it or not, most of NW England has probably seen more snow than Bratislava this February. It really has been that bad.

This pithy Blackadder quote also springs to mind when summing up this cowpat of a winter (and that's another one):

I am afraid the WRF has now dropped the snow risk completely. I knew  it was too good to be true.

Has it gone further north or further south?

Looks further north by the data. Surface temps are too high as well. Too close to the low center.
