I think everyone has been washed away

We'd love some more of your rain down here (south central Hampshire). Or
even /some/ rain...

We've had almost three time the rain all average for September already.


It's not been exceptional here. Looking at various Wunderground weather
station reports for stations within about 5km, the average total
rainfall so far this year (1 Jan - 18 September) is around 430mm.
However, this is a very "showery" area and a few hundred metres can make
a lot of difference!


It's rained torrentially non stop for hours at a time most days this
month since
August 30th. It's the wettest September other than 2006 ever according to the
local press.


The Zuyder See will be filling up again!

Sorry, IJselmeer! ;-)
