time I've had a rainfall duration of 24.0h in a rainfall day
for a very long time. An additional 28.2mm since 21z,
bringing the event total to 64.8mm and counting.

for 30.5h. I doubt that have been many late-May days
with a 12z temperature quite as low as this.

The temperature here did not fall below 6.0°C but has only
risen to 6.4°C and is now falling. This, if it is maintained, will
make it the lowest May max in my record, starting 1983, and all the
more rmarkable for being so late in the month. Oddly enough, until
1996 my lowest May max of 7.8°C had also been on the 28th, in 1983.
