Default Drought over in SE?

Drove back from Dartford to Essex at about 23.00 last night and had the
wipers on intermittent due to the persistent fine drizzle that was falling.
This rarely seems to be picked up by the radar.

I recorded 0.3mm of rain (well, one tip of the buckets on my Davis VP)
at 0415Z this morning. Now, the ground looks damp and there are puddles
on the flat roof next door, but I can't see anything on the radar and
looking around at other sites nearby, nowhere else seems to have
recorded any rain.

I guess it could've been an equipment problem or possibly even a spider
(would've had to have been quite a big spider) sitting in the buckets?

If it did rain, that brings the length of time without any measurable
rain to just shy of 16 days since 28th November.
