Now had two days this month with over an inch:

30.8mm (1.21") 6th June
25.6mm (1.01") 28th June

Is that unusual for you Keith?
An inch is not all that much really when storms are around?

I had 3 falls over 1" in 10 days (3rd-12th) in August 2004!

Interestingly that month I had one day of 60mm and another of 32.5mm but the
rest were all under 25.4mm. Although I live in a wet area we get most of our
rainfall in days under an inch as we don't get many thunderstorms just
Atlantic fronts, drizzle and polar maritime showers. That is why I thought
that Keith would get more through storms. Even my wettest month of October
2004 of 321mm only had three days over an inch, but boy did it rain every
day bar 4!
