Lowest, realistically, is 0.6mm at Loftus (N Yorks) ... there has
been a very active orographic enhancement / rain-shadow effect
in operation this month resulting in less than 4mm falling down the
eastern side of the UK from Banffshire to The Wash., compared
with 150mm in the SW highlands.
I'll check with my brother (near Market Rasen, Lincs) but I don't
think it's been as dry as that.

3.0mm today has nearly doubled our total to 6.6mm, I woul have thought
Market Rasen would have had more as it's to the West of the Wolds and nearer
frontal activity to the South.
Loftus gets a double rain shadow effect as it's to the East of the NY Moors.
