4th January 2013
New figures from the Met Office show that 2012 was the second wettest year on record for the UK, with total rainfall just a few millimetres short of that which fell in 2000. Figures for the Midlands show that this area received (in 2012) 135% of the average rainfall received over the period 1981 - 2010. The Met Office has also observed a UK trend of gradually increasing total rainfall over recent decades and more frequently occurring extreme rainfall events, a trend also observed in India and China.
