The British Rainfall publication which ran from to collated these rainfall measurements, providing a wealth of historical observations some more of which have now been recovered see below.
We can use the digitised data to gain more detailed insights into the characteristics of some of these historical climate extremes to allow us not only to achieve the aims of the Historic Drought project, but also to provide the nation with longer, more detailed, and more accessible historical climate datasets tailored for our digital age.
October saw a rapid succession of Atlantic depressions affect the British Isles. Many parts of the country saw rain on nearly all days of the month, with some intense downpours and thunderstorms causing extensive damage. Flooding was widespread and many parts of the country experienced disruption. Using established NCIC techniques to map rainfall from station observations, the new data allow us to paint a much more detailed picture about this extreme month to show where the rain actually fell, and we can compare this with extremes of more recent times.
For example Cumbria saw the highest rainfall totals during October with mm at Seathwaite, which in itself is not nearly as extreme as December for which Seathwaite recorded nearly a metre of rain mm. However, heavy and persistent rain in October was much more widespread across southern and central England than it was during December On the basis of the UK average rainfall October is considered a wetter month than December , however in terms of regional extremes such as those experienced across north-western areas including Cumbria, then December is still an exceptional record-breaking month.
These provide some real insights into the impacts from this extreme weather over a hundred years ago. For some the consequences were devastating with widespread flooding and ruined harvests. For example the observer at Altarnon, Cornwall in said:.
In contrast February was extremely dry and the driest calendar month in our records. February has a slight advantage here being our shortest month, but even taking this into consideration it really was a notable month. Statista Accounts: Access All Statistics. Basic Account.
