Just a follow-up to what I've just written, I must make clear re the
rainfall above that in split obs i.e 0900-2100 & 2100--0900 any
rainfall
after 2100 is accredited to the following day!

Now *that* is definitely wrong and there is no justification for
it and will lead to your records not being comparable with others
nearby, or anywhere. It would not be acceptable if you sent your
records to COL. At least with max's and min's we are measuring two
different types of temperature for which there is a plausible night/day
difference but rainfall is just all rainfall and should be measured at
the standard time, or as close to it as you can get. Of course you may
keep a private record in the manner described but anything "published",
in the broadest sense, should be measured once a day, at 0900 or as
near as practicable.
