Reigate, Surrey, UK - Longest wet period 21 days including today.
Since 30th December when this run commenced we have had 134.7mm of rain.

Finally have a record from all this rain.

Consecutive rain days 22 Days to 19 Jan and it looks like today it might be a dry day at last. Could have been much better as I have recorded rain on 41 of the last 42 days.

High (outside) Humidity record broken - 96% at 0926 today. (A couple of neighbours in Nantwich show 97%...)

Highest 10-minute average wind speed: 79 km/h

As expected the highest monthly rainfall figure has already been exceeded at 187.7mm, and there are several rainy days left in January. Last year's January rainfall was around average at 93mm. Around 1/5th of last years annual rainfall has fallen in the first 25 days of this year so far. I have had 44 wet days out of the last 46.

Sheffield Woodthorpe/Richmond Weather All Time Records Longest Wet Period - 15 DAYS

A couple of records set for me in January.

Which makes January my wettest month with 168.6mm.
Last month was my previous wettest with 162.2mm.

January 2014 has been my all-time wettest month too (I guess it's the same for many in the UK) - 207 mm, beating my previous record from October 2006 by 41 mm.

My only record to date has been a temperature of 42.1 degrees last month.
Weather station has been in operation just on 18 months.

This was also the wettest January since my records began in 2003
Current record 123.1mm; my previous record was 2004 103.5mm

For those checking out my website unfortunately it is currently down due to a BT line fault which will not be fixed until at least 05/02/2014

Wettest Jan since I began in 2009, 203.4mm, I think we have webbed feet up here, but at least no flooding.

I got my highest monthly rainfall since I started my records in 2011
