Everyone agrees that this November Britain had the heaviest November rainfall for years.  Certainly this is borne out in Hooky where,although mercifully spared flooding, we had 129.75 mm.  This the highest figure recorded here for this month since my records begin in around 1970. The nearest November rainfall to this was in 1984 but that fell a good centimetre short.  Does this tell us anything about Globing Warming?  Carbon  emissions? I wonder....

October's rainfall figures were 46.25 mm for the month, the monthly average for October over the past ten years being 88.95 mm.  Only a particularly heavy fall on  October 21-22 being notable.  Nevertheless , October was nearly twice September's meagre fall of 25.5 mm.
