If we look at the EWP rainfall series we can see that the first 7 months of 2014 was the 7th wettest on record since 1766
Wettest Jan - Jul periods on record:
2007 687.2mm
1782 675.9mm
1872 671.5mm
1789 654.0mm
1768 653.4mm
1828 649.3mm
2014 647.7mm
We might move further up that table this month. Already we have had 70mm of rain in August up to the 13th and that does not include yesterday's heavy showers. The average for the whole of August is only 77mm. However, most of the August's in the years above were also wet apart from 1789.
