"2012 Year of Floods...?"

In the past month our news has been filled with droughts, substantial rain and now floods. At this current moment flood alerts are at 162 and even more scary, flood warnings are at 65! Already many people have been rescued, the weakening infrastructure in some places is causing fear and many events across the spectrum of sport and music have been cancelled. Is this torrential rain more than just precipitation? Records starting from 1910 up to the current day have stated that June 2012 in the North West has been the wettest June in over 100 years! With 197mm of rainfall last month will this continue onto July?
