Soggy November ends four-month dry spell in East Anglia
A damp November is likely to bring to an end a dry spell in the Anglia region which has lasted since July.
Storm Angus on Sunday 20 November provided enough rain in one day than is normally expected in a whole week in November.
The wettest place was Wattisham in Suffolk with 24.2 mm of rain in the 24 hours to 9am on Sunday.
More wet weather expected on Monday although drier conditions are likely to prevail later in the week.
The November rainfall total in the Anglia region is already at 49 mm which is 25% more rain than is expected in the first 19 days of the month.
Every month since June has been drier than normal in the East of England so a wet November would end the four-month long dry spell.
July to October 2016 saw about 140 mm of rain, well below the long-term average for the period which is 227 mm and less than two-thirds of the normal rain.
It has been the driest July to October stretch since 2003.
Despite the damp weather in November it has also been sunnier than average.
The sunshine total for the first 19 days was 55 hours which is about ten hours more than normal during that period.
November normally supplies 2.3 hours of sunshine per day but this November has so far seen 2.9 hours per day.
It has also been a chilly November so far with temperatures about 1°C below average. Currently it is the coldest November for six years.
