Rain today: 428.78 mm [Copied and pasted so there's no mistake.]

Impressive if they can measure it to the nearest 100th of a millimetre.
It equates to almost double the UK record for a day's rainfall, so it
seems unlikely to be right.
======================

I suspect that it's an Instromet station currently, which uses a drop
counter to a resolution of 0.01mm. But there's clearly an issue with the
apparent total.
