This winter was yesterday confirmed by BBC Reporting Scotland as Scotland's wettest winter since 1995; by that I assume they mean winter 1994-95, as 1995-96 was overall a rather colder and drier winter overall than anything we had had since 1990-91.


The summer of 1995 wasn't bad though!

And of course there is todays rain to add as well.


It won't be much - but it all adds up.

Drier than expected over the past week so January/February finished 2nd wettest to 1994. Dyce recorded 268mm compared to 270mm in 1994.


Winter rainfall was 337mm which is the 2nd wettest in 99 years after 1993/94 but because most of the wettest winters were in the 19th/early 20th Century, only ranks as 6th wettest since 1856 a good bit behind 1876/77, 1882/83, 1993/94, 1899/1900 and 1914/15. 1911/12 and 1976/77 recorded similar rainfall totals but in the latter at least a fair bit of that was snow.

I take back what I said a bit earlier - we won't get much.


Rained nearly all day here - must have had another 20mm at least.


What a day to round off the wettest winter on record.

Thanks Kevin for these updates. With one day of rainfall to be added, I'm guessing we'll end up just short of no. 2 on the season record list, but probably a 7th place on the February list... All in all a remarkable season, even we'd rather other winter records had been broken!

Went down to check on our allotment last weekend. Its close to a spring so in wet weather it's often very squelchy. I couldn't believe just how much standing water there was until I noticed it was actually coming up through the ground and running away across the surface. That's going to take a while to dry out.
