No measurable rainfall for two weeks now and today's forecast of rain

Things were getting rather parched here again but all that has changed
now as 25.6 mm of rain fell between 7:45 and 11:50 today.

It was that 'warm' torrential stuff with a bit of thunder thrown in.
Then the sun came out and the DP shot up to 20.3C making if feel quite
tropical this afternoon.
