Default April 2005 - Ilminster, Som. (Rainfall)

Just thought it worthy of a mention that we have ended up with 212% of our
average April rainfall this month. The monthly average alone was nearly met
by only two wet days: one overnight frontal system 17/18 April which
provided 22mm and the strong localized storm of 27 April which (probably
through melted hail) accounted for 21mm.

Rainfall = 100.5mm (212% of average)

Jeremy-is that your average based upon 'x' years or figures obtained
from somewhere close by ( ie Yeovilton). I am trying to get some ideas
about where I live (near Dorchester) and where I work (Milton Abbas,
near Blandford)

From my AWS at work (not checked since Friday) I think it was about
80mm for April. i did not get many localised storms IIRC.
