Wettest Day Records
On Saturday 3rd October many weather stations across the country recorded the biggest amount of rainfall ever in one day.
In Oxfordshire, 60 millimetres were registered and in Aberdeenshire, 66 millimetres was measured.
That daily amount of 60/66 millimetres is around 25% of the total average October rainfall, remember that happened on 1 very wet day.
The average rainfall on the 3rd of October across the entire UK was 31.7 mm (1.25 inches) which was well ahead of the previous high of 29.8 mm (1.17 inches) which occurred on the 25th of August 1986.
The 3rd of October 2020 needs to be a date that we all remember when the question comes up what is the wettest day in the UK?

Weather Betting
The best betting sites are never slow to offer a market if they think there will be bets placed, this has happened in a big way when it comes to betting on the weather.
Weather Records
As we have read 2020 saw the wettest day ever in the UK. In 2019 we saw the hottest day of the year, back-to-back record breakers.
We of course have White Christmas Betting which experiences great interest from punters, but now climate odds for Spring, Summer and Autumn have started to be priced up by the bookies.
You can now place a bet in the summer that we will see a White Christmas in 2022. (around 7/2 at time of writing).
