No rainfall visible.

Rainfall totals – 24 hours ending 18.00 UTC on Tuesday http://tinyurl.com/2ew4of

Strathallan and Warcop Range reported 1 mm. I think there is
something wrong at Warcop as the reported max. temp. there was
bizarre. Is it right to assume that the Strathallan figure is wrong
as well and that the only genuine rainfall totals are the 0.2 or 0.4
mm figures arising from dew or frost ?
