But, according to Jersey Met, this winter was only the 18th-wettest on record.
A total of 368.8mm of rain was recorded between the start of December and the end of February – well above the average of 277.3mm.
But it fell well short of the 485.4mm which poured down on the Island during the record-breaking and thoroughly soggy winter of 1994/95.
The autumn and winter combined, however, came higher up the rainfall rankings, being placed second-wettest since records began in 1894, with a total of 840mm. The wettest autumn/winter was in 2000/01, when 872.9mm of rain was recorded.
This winter was the fourth-mildest since records began, with an average temperature of 8.6°C, compared to a long-term average of 6.8°C.
February was the second-mildest on record with an average temperature of 9°C, and also the fourth windiest.
John Searson, principal meteorologist at Jersey Met, said: ‘The figures for the season are consistent with what we would expect from climate change, with wetter, windier and milder winters.’
Spring seems to have started on a similar note to where winter ended, with heavy rainfall yesterday leading to some localised flooding. The unsettled conditions are expected to last for at least the next five days.
