It has been the wettest September since 2001 in the Netherlands, according to weather service Weeronline.

Across the country, there has been 130mm of rain so far this month, compared with just 78mm in a normal year – with almost 250mm falling in some coastal areas, more than three times the normal rate.

There was some consolation, though: the sun shone on average for 155 hours, compared to 143 in the normal year.
