> Rainfall and rain harvest Calculator
This rainfall calculator will work out what your expected 'rough' average monthly rainfall should be from the nearest measuring stations for which we have publically usable data. This can then be used as a basis to work out how much can be collected and hence rainwater tank capacities. If anybody has rainfall data they would like to contribute to this service, please let us know.
Remember, the values calculated here should be taken as a rough guide, it does not take into account other effects and has a very limited source data set.

We know that the Met Office’s long term temperature record is massively corrupted by poor siting and UHI. It seems that their rainfall datasets are also equally corrupted and worthless.
I gather there was 271 mm in Torbay. But even that pales into insignificance in comparison with some of the totals registered in November 1929. October 1960 was also extremely wet in Devon, with 311 mm falling in Exeter.
For all the talk of droughts, last year in England rainfall finished well within normal bounds. The worst droughts were, of course, all prior to the Second World War.
So, when cloud seeding purveyors come “a knockin’” to your county, state, water district, etc., claiming that they will increase your water supply, mitigate a drought:
Caveat emptor!
