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.
