The quick answer is 'I have it'.
It has been raining hard here for much of the day so far.
While we did have a warm and dry spell, and I needed to water my wild
strawberries on three consecutive days, there is no shortage of the wet
stuff here.

Yes, much of the country has had above average rainfall and totals in
Scotland and many areas in the west have had well above average
rainfall so far in May. The rain has been patchy and showery though
and although many sites have had plenty of rain, even places in the
wetter areas have missed out. We are one of them. It's bone dry here
and my water butts are empty again. Philip's analysis to the 11th
shows the variation in rainfall between areas, but doesn't show the
intra-area variations. East Anglia has been particularly dry, so some
areas appear to have had showers today. Again we've missed out in
South Devon. 8((.
