January 2007 started fairly wet with measurable rain on 13 out for the first 14 days.

The general trend over the last two years for January has been a wet first two weeks followed by a much cooler and dryer second two weeks under high pressure. January 2007 bucked this trend somewhat as it didn't turn dryer until 22^nd by which time most of the months rain had fallen.

 

The final 5 days of January were dry and this was continued into February which was dry until the 7^th giving 11 consecutive days without rainfall. However after this February started to make up for it by giving rain on all but 3 of the remaining 22 days of the month. This included 1.18" (29.97mm)  on the 19th which was our wettest February day on record and the 4^th wettest day overall on record. On total this was our wettest February on record with 4.76" (120.9mm) of rain.

 

March is looking to continue the trend; already we've over an inch of rain and it's only the 4^th of the month. Only time will tell if this is going to be a record breaking year for rain.
