No drought
If not an absolute drought, then is it a relative drought, or am I
misremembering the existence of such a thing?
It's rather academic anyway, because we had a much-needed 10.6 mm the next day.

Most annoyingly we had measurable preciptation last night. With nothing
since 28 May, a drought was looking likely.
This has been the worst of all worlds: fog, everywhere else in the
country hot (even Motherwell), a parched garden, and 0.2 mm of drizzle
meaning I can't even enter a 1 in my drought column. Haar just isn't
funny (geddit?).
A very small amount of rain like the above doesn't break an absolute drought :
Absolute Drought - A period of 15 consecutive days without rainfall of
more than 0.01" (0.2mm)
So you are just OK.
