We are now in an unprecidented 10 month stretch of 50mm+ months. March looks lile it will record over 200% of average rainfall (after the 2nd wettest February ever), and now models suggest more of the same for April.
When will this awful run of weather end, with a return to normality?

As a result of the oceans warming in the new age AGW climate completely overwhelming the climate system, London won't ever get a drier than normal month again, those unprecedented bouts of heat were a signature of the initial warming before the overwhelming ocean warming befalls us.

I don't think we will get a normal or good month now until August or September, if the analogues of 1998 and 2016 are anything to go by.

I'm not at all surprised by the period of consecutive wet months much of the country is enduring; the effects of rising sea temperatures esp. in the Atlantic due to AGW are the main driving force behind why I believe we are seeing an increase in both the intensity and frequency of rainfall in this, obviously, maritime influenced climate. This is corroborated by 100+ years of Met Office precipitation data for many UK locations, in which we can see that the majority of record wet months have occurred within often just the last 30 years. This is true for Sheffield and most other locations with official Met Office stations. It makes sense to me. Warmer temperatures from AGW holds more moisture, and warmer SST's likewise lead to more energy in the jet stream and low pressure systems that affect the UK.
That said, your guess is as good as mine when it comes to knowing when the next drier month will occur and when this pattern will break down. Long range forecasting is still very much in its infancy and even with the best computers money can buy, today any such forecast is little better than flipping a coin. So out of pure guesswork I'll go ahead and say July.

When the gulf stream collapses and London turns into a frigid tundra AMOC collapse would result in icy winters but much warmer summers.

That has been saying every month will break the wet spell, until the month arrives and continues to be wet.

B87 Hopefully the following month will break the curse.

Wet April, average May, June, July and August based on that model. I bet all those months will end up just above average in that case. A single drier than average month seems impossible to come by. Of course we would need about 10 in a row by the end of April.

Probably June will be dry and sunny in London, just in time to piss me off, as I long for summer drought.

April will end wetter than average and extremely cloudy.

Normally I'd say June when things heat up up there

Normally I'd say June when things heat up up there Unless the pattern continues into June and we get a repeat of June 2016 (cool days, warm nights, extremely wet and the cloudiest June on record).

Sounds like here during a La Nina. Are there oceans around you guys warming up? The Tasman Sea here has been warmer than usual, hence the recent heavy rainfalls.

Though the similarities between 1998 and 2016 diverged in July.
