Off to a good start.

5.2mm so far today. 

0.3mm. More to come later.

November carrying on from where October left off = soggy! 10mm so far.

16.0mm from Day 1 of the month.

0.4mm from the first 15 minutes of day 2.

16.4mm for the month...off to a flyer ! 

Likewise up to 33.4 mm.

15.4mm here; all fell on day 1.  I am optimistic of some heavier falls as the week progresses.  Bring me rain

0.3mm Yesterday.   0.3mm. today.  total 0.6mm. 

10.8 mm so far and it's only in the first day of November. I've noticed mine is less than Gusty's and he only lives a mile away from here. Either my rain gauge isn't measuring the rain at the correct rate or a slug is caught under the tipper or perhaps it needs to be moved to a different location.
  It couldn't be local variation associated with showery rain as what we have had recently was mostly general stuff.
 

Yes.. We need to keep an eye on that one Ian. I have noticed in recent months you have been lower than my values. I'm confident that mine is reading accurately. Whether Idle and myself held a 'Weather Summit' in a local pub recently and our rainfall readings were remarkably similar. Temperature wise the overall average is virtually the same too )within 0.1c most months). 

4.8mm from saturday's showers brings my total up to 14.8mm.

7.2mm Yesterday  total 16.5mm

Looking wet up to Saturday.

Up to 49.4mm.

Impressive.  Thats almost 2 inches!

  Either that, or invest in a proper station rather than cheap £69 ones from the local Maplins.

Certainly going to have to knock something together, along with getting a more decent station as I think this cheap Maplins jobby isn't really up to scratch.

Incidentally, the rain has now kicked in with a breeze starting to get up. Looks like being a long night, especially what with a leaky roof (which I've arranged to get it fixed in a couple of week's time).

Have spent a few days repairing various bits of my house... blimey, do get that roof fixed soon Ian, Fokestone is forecast 62mm of rain in the next 6 days!
