Curious -- did it actually stop raining at all in the past 24 hours?

Nothing recorded:-

06:30-07:30
13:30-14:30
15:00-16:00
16:30-17:15
21:30-21:45

This doesn't mean that it wasn't raining during those periods; just
insufficient rain to record.

Total rainfall this month up to 22:30 this evening is 55.8mm which
negates my comment yesterday(?) about this month being remarkably dry
so far.

Me and my big mouth...

LOL
Those 'dry' days were deceptive
We had snow and we had rain
Its just that inbetween we had sun -- its alright -- we have forgotten what
it was
Its not surprising our whole judgement gets thrown out with the bath water
after more than 2 hours of blue sky - it had been a VERY long time since
seeing that much
:~)
Shame it could not just shift a fraction up the scale instead of all the way
to warm wet westerlies or whereevr
It would have been really nice to have drained the ground a touch. Its quite
astonishing JUST how flooded everywhere is after a 24 hours of steady
drizzle. Quite worrying really the grass stopped in the cold but now its
going to flood again.
We all need some spring grass
