how come if you have had sporadic bursts of light rain?

Insufficient to register. The rain gauge uses a tipping bucket which
tips when 0.2mm have accumulated. If the bucket was empty then it
would require 0.2mm of rain to fall before the bucket tipped.

Just after I posted we had 1.4mm in 75 minutes.
