It rained all day on Monday with no let up at all. It wasn’t torrential, thank goodness, but just steady rain all day. It always seems to be on really rainy days that I find out that my main rain gauge has become blocked with pigeon doo doos. As you may know Woody likes to sit on my weather station and take in the surroundings.
I guessed there was a problem when my old back up gauge was recording far more rainfall through the day than the newer gauge and sure enough on inspecting my main gauge on Tuesday morning I found the collecting bucket full of water. At least I’ve found out how to make the totals of rainfall correct on my charts if not the hours the rain actually fell.
Monday’s rainfall amounted to 29.0mm putting into 4th placed in the wettest days I’ve recorded.
2012 now holds 6 spots in the top ten of wettest 10 days since September 2009.

I don't think the rain's let up at all yet, it's still tipping down here. Talking of bird doo doos, one did one on my head last week. I thought it was supposed to be lucky but I didn't win the lottery.
ReplyDeleteHope you weren't looking skyward last week. It's actually stopped raining here at the moment.
