I've been monitoring Shoeburyness and according to the rainfall figures
given with their obs the June total was only 85.4mm. Shoebury is the
driest place in the country, I believe, so perhaps they could get less than
Southend? They had something of a cloudburst on the 5th with 23.0mm.
Depends where the heavy showers fall, I suppose.
