I understand that The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) specifies that average meteriogical data be calculated over a 30 year period, the most recent period of which ended in 1990. I thought that the UK also released this information annually but I cannot find it - sorry.
However, if you check with the Met office on their website - this is free btw - http://www.metoffice.gov.UK/climate/UK/averages/index.HTML - you can search for average sunshine, air frost, rainfall ect and select this information by month and by either country, county, region, town or individual weather station!
So the average annual rainfall in England during the period 1961-1990, according to the Met Office's records was 828mm (33 inches, or thereabouts!)
Hope this helps!
