Total for the month here is 155.4mm (182% of LTA), just overtaking February to become the wettest month this year.

We have certainly moved from the dry season to the wet season in the far SE, so I will re-post the monthly totals (now taken from just one local PWS rather than averaged from three, as two have been giving incomplete data):

Wet season:

Jan 73.1mm (100% of LTA)

Feb 140.2mm (290%)

Mar 61.5mm (125%)

Dry season:

Apr 38.4mm (77%)

May 11.4mm (21%)

Jun 40.4mm (89%)

Jul 25.9mm (55%)

Aug 36.3mm (69%)

Sep 41.7mm (77%)

Wet season:

Oct 155.4mm (182%)

All of the above data is taken from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and is for up until 09:00 UTC (9am GMT) on 1 November 2020.

This month's data runs from 09:00 UTC (10am BST) on 1 October 2020.

This autumn's data runs from 09:00 UTC (10am BST) on 1 September 2020.

This year's data runs from 09:00 UTC (9am GMT) on 1 January 2020

LTA = 1981-2010 average for the month, season or year in question at that particular station.

It is difficult for me to know what to say about this because had that been another month within the year, I would no doubt have been seen as being in one of the wettest parts of the country during that particular month, especially since October was the third month during this year, where more than 100 mm of rain had been recorded in total, at both of those stations.

I therefore find it astonishing that in this case, I actually find myself as being on one of the DRIEST parts of the UK during that month in terms of what has been reported on this thread, with just about everyone else reporting much higher totals than that.

That is probably an accolade which I don't really deserve given those figures which I have just reported for this month but at the end of the day, that is what Mother Nature has decided to throw at us during that particular month.

However, the fact that it hasn't been as wet here as elsewhere in the UK during October is still very important because whilst the rest of the UK is now already virtually guaranteed to have seen a wetter than average (indeed, some areas may well have already gone above their own autumn average), that is not the case here.

In fact, September was actually a bit drier than average here which means that our rainfall for this autumn so far is only really running at around average just now. This means that the question of whether this autumn ends up being wetter or drier than average here, is now fully dependent upon what happens during this month (and I have already created the appropriate thread for that).

Finished on 184.0mm here (222% of average) making it my wettest month on record and likely wettest month since October 2002. 30-day total will not reach 200mm however unlike during Oct/Nov 2009, Jan/Feb 2014 and Dec 2015/Jan 2016.

Ridiculously it was more than fell during the entire dry season from last December to May (182.8mm). The wet season total since start of June stands at 406.4mm. Should start to see that falling as the relentless westerlies set in to write-off yet another winter 

Dyce total was 187mm making it third wettest since records began there in the 1940s after 2002 (230mm) and 1960 (199mm). 1932 saw 196mm recorded at Craigiebuckler and 188mm at Mannofield and is likely the only other October as wet as this during the 20th Century.

In the 19th Century the records were all taken at drier coastal locations. 1859 was the wettest with 178mm at Grammar School which compares to 173mm at Nigg this October.

So in summary probably the 5th wettest October since the mid-19th Century for Aberdeen with only 2002, 1960, 1932 and 1859 wetter.

October is just a disaster of a month these days - dominated by soggy mild crud and devoid of crisp and frosty weather which was certainly not the case in the past. The figures from Dyce are staggering.

1946-1999: Average 78mm, 18/54 with 100mm = 33%, 19/54 with <50mm = 35% including 5 consecutive from 1969-73

2000-2020:Average 106mm, 10/21 with 100mm = 48%, 1/21 with <50mm = 5% 

The final corrected total is 181.2 mm For OCTOBER.

Final total 196.0mm here.

Wettest October since 2000

Final total for October here is 76mm, making it a rather wet month (137%).   Escaped most of the heavy rain through the month, especially in the first week, and very little rain falling in the middle third of the month (just 7mm fell from 11th to 23rd).

A whopping 208mm for October at Blackbushe airport, taking the yearly total to 665mm to Oct 31.

I only recorded 170.7mm here, but my annual total was 657.3mm at the end of October (now 660.0mm). Still far and away my wettest month since the start of 2017.

Total here was 144mm , so very wet but not as wet as February.
Annual total as of 31 October: 865.5mm. This is above the average annual rainfall amount of roughly 800-830mm.

135.1mm here in Evesham - making it the wettest month since July 2007

(our ave annual rainfall is just over 600mm)

Final total 178mm
