Took the precaution of emptying the gauge before today's predicted deluge to
prevent the possibility of overflow (I read 1800-1800) and yesterday's
measured event total was 31.0 mm.

This raises the possibility of a 250mm+ May month which is more like a good
December total than May.
December average here is 209mm.

I don't think we have reached 10mm here in Coleraine for May. The lawns
are suffering and huge cracks are forming in the soil.

That is a good example of how chaotic climate is, with unseasonal high
rainfall only a few hundred miles away from drought conditions. No
wonder that global warming is difficult to detect :-(
