Summary for October 2009

Rainfall (mm):
Total for month 54.8 (93%)
Wettest day 15.4 day 21
Wet Days 18
Rain days 11

Forgive my ignorance - what's the difference between and Rain Day and a Wet
Day?


A rain day is when 0.2mm or more is recorded, whereas a wet day is when
1.0mm or more is recorded. So there were 18 days when rain was recorded
but only 11 of which had appreciable amounts (1.0 +) fall.

I think I have that right :-)
