My total for the month so far stands at 15mm, which is less than

... here in Bracknell, the 4.0mm this morning (09-11Z), then another
4.1mm early this afternoon has brought our monthly total up to 18.9mm,
or a third of the eLTA for this area.

I'm up to around 42mm now, though on only 4 days has more than 1mm
fallen.
