The Star Sheffield 15 june
Weather latest: Wettest day for 35 years

SHEFFIELD suffered its wettest day for nearly 35 years in the 24 hours between 9am yesterday and 9am today.
A total of 88mm - about three and a half inches - of rain was recorded at the Weston Park Museum weather station. That was on top of 30mm which fell during the previous 24 hours when the downpour began. Weather expert Gaynor Boon, based at the museum, said the previous wettest day had been on July 15, 1973, when 119mm had been recorded. "The heaviest in recent times was on August 9, 2004, with 77mms. It seems strange that the wettest days always seem to occur in the summer, contrary to popular belief," she said. "In a way we are paying for a dry spring - there was less that 10mm of rain throughout the whole of April," Gaynor added. The downpour yesterday and today represented the whole of the usual average rainfall for June - with 25 per cent extra on top. Amateur weather watcher Stanley Wraith in Meersbrook recorded similar rainfall, with 82mm in his own rain gauge. "That compares with just 8mm during the whole of June last year. "I've been collecting statistics for the last 20 years and it's easily the wettest period I've known. I had to empty my rain gauge before I went to bed as it was in danger of overflowing!" he added.
