Experts say September is also Oxford's second wettest month since records began in 1767.
Experts from the University of Oxford's Radcliffe Meteorological Station said it saw 193.3mm of rainfall.
This was the highest monthly rainfall in the area since 1774 and it was the second wettest month since records began in 1767.Charlie Knight, Radcliffe Meteorological observer, described the findings as "remarkable" especially when considering that most of the months rainfall fell across two days. He said: "This exceptional amount of rainfall is particularly unusual given that September is typically not a very wet month, averaging 52mm of rain.Nearby Environmental Agency gauges support the Radcliffe rainfall totals, with one gauge at Osney Lock recording 101.1 mm in just under 23 hours on 23 September.
The Radcliffe Meteorological Station, managed by the university's School of Geography and the Environment, holds the longest series of temperature and rainfall records for one site in Britain.In the 1970s, a small group of Greenpeace activists had a unique idea for how they could put an end to commercial whaling.
