Default Malta rainfall beats Surrey

I've uploaded my European September excel spreadsheet as an htm file,
it's over 1Meg in size. Malta can be found towards the bottom between
the Italian and Greek locations. Malta certainly had a wet week!

Be interested to know if this format is of interest generally?

Sparing a brief thought for my friends who are holidaying in Malta this
Christmas, I see from MaltaWeather.com that the island has now had more rain
since Sept 1st than I have recorded this calendar year. 4 month Malta average
477mm, 12 month West Molesey total 470mm (plus the little we had since 09h
today and whatever tmrw. brings).

On September 15th rainfall amounts in Malta ranged from under 25mm around some
coasts to over 250mm. inland, so that had quite a big effect on the island
average on that day! This was mostly within just 7 hours. A short note on this
storm and a rainfall map will appear in a future issue of 'Weather', based on
data from MaltaWeather.com.

With a cut-off low being anchored close to Malta over the following few days,
plenty of thundery showers should keep edging the rainfall total upwards (a
more interesting prospect than for southern Britain?). The 12 month long term
average is around 530-560mm.
