Only 50mm in fact. The 2000 seasonal record looks pretty safe though. Another 130mm in 2 weeks ain't going to happen.

I don't know about others, but my weather stats brain is now urging on the rainfall for the rest of the month so we can secure the record.

Kevin is getting day by day updates as they happen (like you can get for month-to-date CET) - I'd love to know where these are kept

To get a UK average it's quite easy to copy and paste the data in this table into Excel and take an average of the rainfall column (52.2mm up to 10th Feb)

Well for the south-east England region it is probably already the wettest winter on record.

The previous record was 390.2mm in 1914/15

The stats for this winter are as follows:

Dec 138.7mm
Jan 181mm
Feb 64mm (to the 11th)

Total 383.7mm (to 11 Feb)

So we were only 7mm short of the record as at the 11th. Most parts of SE England had at least 10mm of rain yesterday so we should have already exceeded the record even before tomorrow's rain.

It's looking like the wettest winter on record is going to be smashed rather than just pipped by a couple of mm!

The wettest February isn't entirely out of the question but the next couple of weeks would have to continue very unsettled which I seriously hope isn't the case.

The summer that followed wasn't bad though!

It is climbing the February table pretty swiftly. Even just another 25mm for the rest of the month, which is not a lot in context of this winter, it will be well up there in the top 15 wettest Februaries.

Surely we are not going to have another top 10 month?!

Although even if it does get to the top there are quite a few similarly wet Winters, so not "unprecedented" at all.
