This has just been tweeted, it shows the really wet area is quite small and large areas (including here) have only been a bit wetter than average.
But because the wet area is in the SE we have heard nothing else for weeks.

Certainly those in Somerset, Worcestershire, Aberystwyth, Cornwall etc. would have something to say about it being perceived as just the SE I would imagine.........
Interesting map and does show that some areas have been only slightly above average, as you point out, but also large swathes more than slightly above average and still 8 days to go!
