But really, than seeing 15mm of rain in the first few hours of a new month,
after a remarkably dry October (36mm up to last midnight, which is 49% of
average*)?

When "thrown back" at 09Z (yes, I went outside in it), this raised "October"
to a more typical (but still relatively dry) 51mm (70%).

Stats, huh?

.... same here Steve. Before last night's rain, we were on to a
reasonably dry month - still below average, but up to 98% as of 09Z this
morning. I did wonder if they'd taken the 'thrown-back' rainfall into
account on the 'Countryfile' summary a while back.
