39 inches of rain per year
On average Plymouth, UK get almost 39 inches of rain per year although I believe that is way more this autumn/winter.
39 inches of rain is about 7 inches more than Manchester, UK which gets an average of 32 inches of rain.
So now I know that Plymouth can and often is wet, maybe too wet for me. Maybe I need to move to Manchester, at least it 7 inches of rain less lol.
How much rain do you have per year, do you know?

Further north is bad this winter with all the rain. That what I'm saying it seems we've had more rain the autumn/winter so far.

I think we've had way more that that so far this autumn/winter because from the beginning of November it's rained more or less every day.

I guess sometimes we don't see the rain or take notice of it. It's only when you look at the data and see the information you think wow that lot of rain.
I think here we are just having a really wet winter.

It would be interesting to know how much rainfall you get where you live.

@kevin1877uk I just looked this up and its 55 inches per year. It sure feels like more since it just stopped raining after two whole weeks! Maybe I am seeing the data from a year of drought :)

I think its just been a very wet autumn/winter and he rain we are having/had isn't normal. It still very mild for the time of year, will we get a cold winter? All this week it meant to be 50+ during the day and about 43/45 at night.

@kevin1877uk Yeah, weather here has definitely been weird this year. We've had a day when it snows, then the next day it's up around 10 deg C, which isn't exactly normal for us at this time of year.
