It's certainly been a month of two halves here.

Between 1st-11th January we had just 1.8mm
Total: 82.2mm (wettest January since I started recording in 2017)

We had 20.7mm yesterday and 10.2mm on Wednesday. Exactly half of the month's rain has fallen since Sunday 24th (41.1mm)

Just done a bit of totting up and I've recorded 160 mm so far here at my back yard. Another soggy month at Folkestone. Here's hoping February will be less aquatic in nature.

It is hard to believe it, but this month had looked as though it might end up being drier than average to begin with and indeed, this month isn't likely to end up being quite as wet as December.

Nevertheless, this has still been another wet month and although the main precipitation bands are being forecast to stay to our south over the coming days, we are still continuing to see plenty of precipitation anyway in the form of further showers which continue to be brought in from off the North Sea on an easterly wind (it's just a pity that these aren't snow showers).

Because of that, there is still a chance that this month's total could end up being over 100 mm for the second month in a row.

63.3 mm This Month.

How is this January on national figures. I heard December was the wettest since 1929.

155.2mm so far this month and still it comes down (the front hasn't stalled yet, but it's moving very slowly now).

That is, of course, just over 6 inches of rain. Utterly remarkable for here, we get less than that all winter in some years!

64.2 mm This Month.

Total rainfall here for Jan was 118.1mm which is 161% of the Edenbridge LTA for the month.

No wonder I need welly boots to go for a walk in the sodden country.  And there's more to come on Wednesday.

66.7 mm Final Total

I have decided not to post the usual HTML tables here as this sometimes causes a few issues with a lot of space appearing at the top of each post before we get to whatever I have posted.

With that in mind, the final data from January for Edinburgh Gogarbank is as follows:
