In the first three days of January we have already had more than one-and-a-half times as much rain as we had in the whole of January last year. 94.4mm as against 62.1mm.

An abrupt southern boundary to the heavy rainfall area with only 4.6mm
here and no sunshine whatsoever.
Looks increasingly wintry your way later this week.

Yes, thanks Bruce. I read 46.5mm at o9oo this morning, but that was for 24 hours; Ballater's similar reading appears to be for only 12 hours, which is phenomenal. That's all going to roll down the Dee to us. I'm glad I live on a hill, and I'm also glad it's rain and not snow.

Another way I could have put my statistic is that in the first 3 days of January, we have had more rain than in January and February 2015 put together - 11.8% more, in face.

Ian.
