The first one began at 1704 in the south and lasted until 1752. It moved
directly over head, intensifying as it moved into the north. There were a
couple of brief periods of very heavy rain, depositing 7.8 mm of rain
between 1715 and 1800. There was a max gust of 39.9 mph.
The second storm passed to the west between 1945 and 2100. There was one
brief burst of heavy rain depositing 3 mm in a few minutes.
Just 7 miles or so further east and we got absolutely nothing. Just a
bit of faint thunder, barely audible. Total rainfall this month still
only 0.3mm.
It is odd how so many heavy showers/thunderstorms pass only just to the
west of us here...
