Britain in 2012 experienced its second wettest year since records began in 1910 and extreme rainfall has become more frequent. Persistent wet weather resulted in total rainfall of 1,330.7mm in 2012, just 6.6mm short of the record set in 2000. Preliminary evidence suggests Britain is getting slightly more rain in total and it may be falling in more intense bursts.
