    Apologies if this is in the wrong place but I thought you "weatherheads" could help with a query.

    I'm looking for a way to calculate theoretical annual rainfall in particular areas of the country. I have used an online map application in the past where you selected an area and it gave an annual rainfall for that selection based on historical data... Unfortunately I can't for the life of me find that website.

    Any help would be appreciated...

    I think this site did something along those lines but seems to be down the last while.

    Ya, much more detailed. You were able to select 4 points and it would return a value with expected rainfall for that particular square-footage. It would be useful to me in my current job as we are attempting to secure funding for a rainwater harvesting system and I would like a rough estimate on expected water volumes...

    The link I gave earlier was an old one and obviously broken.

    Not sure if it is something like this you are looking for?

    You can toggle between monthly, seasonal and yearly rainfall for areas within a grid scale of your own choosing.

    I have developed a system for accurately estimating the rainfall for any location in the country. It uses all the available long term data and adjusts for elevation. PM your location of interest and I should be able to help.

    Go to http://www.uksuds.com/greenfieldrunoff_js.htm web page and enter your address. give a fictitional area in Hectares and continue. You will get a value for SAAR or AAR which is the Annual Rainfall value for the area in question. normally we use a value of 10% for future climate change. The Irish SuDS website will direct you here also. and this is the most accurate method for getting rainfall data on the web at present. Hope this will help.
