St. John's closes in on the wettest November in history
The never ending rain this month could land St. John's in the history books
There's no denying this month has been soggy across Newfoundland, as much of the region remained locked in an atmospheric gridlock, with back-to-back systems bringing continuous rain throughout the month.

Now, with just a few days left before we kick off December, it looks like St. John's will write a new page in the record books. This November will likely go down as one of the wettest November's on record for the city.
"An active storm track, high moisture systems, and recent stalled lows have kept the island quite unsettled this month," says Rachel Modestino, a meteorologist at The Weather Network. "In fact, we are currently sitting in the top three for wettest Novembers, with even more rain in sight this week."

Every day in November, St. John's airport has recorded some sort of precipitation. Whether it be the 40+ mm rain events like we saw on both November 4 and 23, or just trace amounts of snow that has fallen at times, over 300 mm of precipitation has hit as of November 27.
The overall record to beat is 319.8 mm, which fell in November 1955, followed by 311.6 mm in 1906. Currently, St. John's airport is sitting at 301.2 mm

"An incoming end of November storm could bump this year into one of the top spots," Modestino adds. "Early computer models show 10-20 mm of rain still to come through November 30."
