May

It's hard to believe that 4 months of the year have gone already.

We bought a rain gauge last weekend, a very cheap one but I am sure it will do the job. I looked at it yesterday morning and we had 1.5mm, and came inside and told my WH, he then asked if I had emptied it out, I wondered (to myself) what for? and then I realised so went back outside and emptied it. Checked it again when we came back from grocery shopping, library etc and only had a couple of drops in it, yet it had been raining quite a lot about 2km away, which just goes to show about local conditions. This morning we had 5.5mm, every bit of rain is good.
