Marks comment on this year being the wettest on Record (Christchurch) got me looking at the Port Robinson rainfall (seeing as we are only a 100kms or so apart.

This year so far - 1021mm
2017 - 890
2016 - 700
2015 - 494
2014 - 880
2013 - 1176
2012 - 635
2011 - 579
2010 - 716
2009 - 679
2008 - 862
2007 - 563

Interesting variations............ 2013 is going to take some beating.

cheers
