199.4mm month to date, more expected today then drier.

---

After a further inch of rain overnight now up to a staggering 285mm .so now the question is will we get to that 300 mm mark . Looking very possible at the moment with the lingering rain band . Probably wettest month ever in the eastbourne area 

A bit more overnight brings our November total to 88mm still 8mm below average 96mm
Nothing significant in forecast for last few days so in contrast to further south another below average month.

The latest rainfall data for Edinburgh Gogarbank and the botanic gardens in Edinburgh are as follows:

Data For Recent Days

Total since 9am GMT (09:00 UTC) yesterday morning: 3.4 mm at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 2.0 mm at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh (as at 7am GMT (07:00 UTC) this morning on Sunday 27 November 2022

Monthly Data

Total for this month so far: 96.4 mm (130.9% of 1991-2020 November average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 95.8 mm (146.8% of 1991-2020 November average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh
Number of rain days during this month so far:  13 (101.1% of 1991-2020 November average) at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 10 (85.5% of 1991-2020 November average) at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh
Number of dry days during this month so far:  5 at Edinburgh Gogarbank along with 7 at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh

This means that more official rain days have now been recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank during this month than the 1991-2020 November average and so, this month will go down as being wetter than average there in terms of the number of rain days regardless of what happens between now and the end of this month.

However, another 2 or more official rain days still need to be recorded at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh between now and the end of this month in order for this month to go down as being wetter than average there in terms of the number of rain days. We are only three days away from the end of the month as I write and with the forecast for the next few days being much drier, time appears to have now run out for that.

Seasonal Data

10 mm to add to the previous total of 139 mm 
149 MM This Month. Glad I do not live near the 80 flood alerts.

---

151.6mm so far, with a bit more to come before the month's out.

It's likely to be over 6 inches by the time all is said and done - remarkable!

---

After a further 36 mm since midnight we have now just topped 300m.  Absolutely extraordinary. Some parts of the county are higher than this   

227mm so far this November 

---

Ended up with a particularly soggy 36.6 mm today (Sunday).

---

318 mm after further heavy downpours today 

A 'friend of a friend' reports a similar total at Charlton in the Downs N of Chichester. The "14 inches" (350mm) quoted is probably best regarded as a ballpark figure since it originates from someone whose primary interest is gardening, not weather.

ADDED Groundwater levels from the nearby Chilgove well have gone from (re-cap here) 34.27 m asl on Nov 1st, only a whisker above the record miimum for that date of 33.97 m, to 60.43 m this morning (29th) well above the long term average 50.5 m. The Lavant, the local winterbourne is now flowing, and a further rise to 75 m would result in serious groundwater flooding.

---

Truly incredible totals for both West and East Sussex  at least on a par with Oct 2000 but fir many possibly the wettest of any month on record  in the county as the Oct  2000 300 mm plus areas were limited to areas around uckfield and lewes . 318 here to end the month .

On the weekend of the 12th, I put a brand new and very good tarp over our youngest's trampoline (after collapsing the sides). The trampoline's a rectangular one, 12'x10'.

By last weekend, there was a pond covering most of it, around 8" at its deepest. Spread over the full 12'x10', it would have been around 3" deep. That's not far from the total that we'd have had. In a week.

I had to bail over half off before I could even - in a Britain's Strongest Man stylee - begin to lift one side to tip the remaining water off.

The plus is that the tarp has shown to be very waterproof!

Total rainfall for November here is 95mm (172% average), making it the 5th wettest November in the last 40 years here.    By some fluke, October 2022 also produced exactly 95mm here!

Total Autumn 2022 rainfall here is 223mm (137% average).   That makes it the 4th wettest Autumn I've recorded.

Final total 217mm

0.6 mm This Month of December.

0.6 mm This Month of December.

Arty, there is a new thread for this month which can see seen here .

Like many others though, I'm sure that you're probably still getting used to all of the recent changes to this forum and might not have spotted that, especually if you are still set up to view only 5 posts per page which is the default.

If you go into your user settings though, you can change that default to one of a number of options up to 50 posts per page. That way, you will be able to see a lot more of what is there and be less likely to miss any new threads which appear.

Final total for November was 78mm

Finished on a ludicrous 191.6mm here - the wettest month I have ever recorded and probably the wettest month since November 1997 🤢

My record daily Novmber total was broken twice. Firstly on the 1st with 33.0mm then again on the 17th with 38.4mm.

Autumn total was even more preposterous at 426.6mm - previous wettest season was just 348.8mm. Getting over 400mm is  truly astonishing and I doubt there has been more than 5 or 6 seasons in over 150 years this wet. Nearby Mannofield site had only two seasons (Autumn 1960 and Autumn 1984) with over 400mm between 1931 and 1989.

A truly detestable, ridiculously unpleasant season ☹
