A few slight rain showers late afternoon and early evening on Thursday, and some just after dawn this morning. Overnight there was a period of rain which started around 2330z as heavy (max rate 12 mm/hr) but eased off to moderate before midnight, and persisted until about 0330z at 2-3 mm/hr. This gave around 9 mm of rain, to give a 24-hour total of 9.6 mm. The total since the 8th is 97.0 mm. Had a brief look at rainfall stats for the area yesterday evening, and the average annual rainfall around here is about 2200 mm - which is a bit more than the 600-700 mm that I'm used to! Currently there is very good visibility and convective clouds building strongly. Light southerly breeze.

15/0900z to 16/0900z:
Max: 12.4 (1405z)
Min: 5.5 (0601z)
Rain: 9.6 mm
