Rainy weather breaks UK record for three months to June

BBC
"The figure was confirmed on a second day of disruption after torrential rain doused parts of the country leaving thousands without power. Transport and schools were also affected after Wales, the Midlands, north-east England, Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland were deluged. Even without the latest storms, this is the second wettest June since 1910. Up to 27 June, total UK rainfall was 130.1mm - just 6mm short of the 2007 record. It is already the wettest June on record for Wales, with 186.3mm of rain this month, compared with the previous record of 183.1mm set in 1998. The Met Office confirmed it had been the wettest April-June period in the UK since 1910."
