I don’t have direct access to live, location-specific rainfall totals right now, so I can’t tell you exactly how much rain you’ve had in your precise area. However, you can get an accurate number quickly using any of these options:

  1. National / government sources
    • In the UK, the Environment Agency publishes weekly rainfall and river flow reports for England, including regional rainfall anomalies and recent totals.
 * Your national meteorological service’s website usually has a “climate” or “observations” section with recent daily and monthly rainfall totals by region or station.
  1. Zip code / postcode rainfall tools
    • Sites like Precip let you enter your zip code and see recent 24‑hour and monthly rainfall totals based on high‑resolution gridded data, so you don’t need your own gauge.
  1. Local or personal weather stations
    • Many personal weather station sites (for example, regional “Weather.com”-style community pages or dedicated local weather sites) publish “rainfall this month/this year” with daily breakdowns.

How to check “how much rain we’ve had” (step‑by‑step)

  1. Go to a rainfall‑by‑location site (for example, your national weather service or a rainfall‑by‑postcode/zip site).
  1. Enter your town, postcode/zip, or nearest city.
  2. Look for these numbers:
    • Rain last 24 hours
    • Rain so far this month
    • Rain so far this year
  3. If you want a “since date X” answer, add up the daily totals from that date in the site’s history or “past weather” section.

Example of what you’ll see

On a typical local weather history page, there is often a “Rainfall for month” and “Rainfall for year” line in the daily or monthly summary table, which tells you how much has fallen so far. On some national sites, that same information appears in weekly rainfall bulletins, grouped by region.

If you tell me your nearest town/city and roughly what period you mean (last 24 hours, this week, since New Year, etc.), I can walk you through exactly what numbers to look for and how to interpret whether it’s wetter or drier than normal.
