Getting exciting now.
Up to 1800 13th I have collected 160.0 mm. Record is in 2007 for 204 mm.
With another circa 50mm expected from this coming depression and then more
rain by months end, the record is going to be smashed.

If this disturbed pattern keeps up, a 300mm+ June is on the cards or even
a slight chance of 400mm if we get some decent storms!
COME ON :-)

Come on?
Sorry, but I really do not see the attraction of excessive rainfall
(apart from in thunderstorms).

Well if we are going to get rubbish weather I'd rather it be
record-breaking rubbish weather, it makes it more interesting and
notable, for me at least.

Also, it might end up being a useful data point for those engaged in
seasonal forecasting research to enable them to examine the
predictability of climate extremes such as anomalously wet seasons.
