Default [WR] West Moors/E.Dorset .. rainfall totals past few days

As Hurn is still firing 'trace' rainfall amounts, I'll list my
rainfall readings here and keep it rolling until the problem is
fixed: we catch, based on only 2 years data, roughly 6% *more* rain
than Hurn. Whether this is a genuine 'climatological' difference, or
simply due to our poor exposure I'm not sure.

[ to see where we are in relation to Hurn, see ....

.... as of this morning, 03862 (Hurn) is back up and running returning
rainfall figures that look sensible.

24hr periods FROM 09Z: .... (i.e. standard climatological rain day)
11th: 5.4 mm
12th: 22.0 mm
13th: 12.6 mm
14th: 12.1 mm
15th: 8.4 mm (Hurn to 06Z returned 6.0 mm, but there was moderate
rain/shower between 06 & 07Z which probably accounts for much of the
difference.

The total for the month so far for this location is:- 76.5 mm, ~78% of
the eLTA (1971-2000)
