1mm so far. The prospect of at least a few dry days for some areas this week. A big question mark for next weekend .. 

Wow!! 0.3mm Already this Month.....   

1.2mm for the 2nd day of May.

2.1mm For today. The bank holiday wash out...

Still a big question mark for the weekend here! Saturday has the biggest risk for showery precipitation, then maybe a mostly dry theme thereafter for some time - maybe a different story further south .. at least for a time! 7.6mm so far this month - so drier than normal at this stage - the month's average being 62mm.

 6 Dry  Days

 0.9mm   Today.

 3.0mm   Total

Now at 17mm so far. 9.4mm from yesterday's showers. Nothing measurable between the 3rd to the 6th inclusive.

   1.2mm  Yesterday.

   8.4mm   Today.

  12.6mm  Total this month.

The previous 2 days dry but a modest 3.8mm today - that would have been at least double the amount without the Pennine rain shadow. Total now at 20.8mm .. so very average atm .. 62mm being the May average. 

We have a healthy mollusc population here in the often wet NW! They are public enemy no.1 to my fruit trees - they graze the fruit! So I'm encouraging the resident hedgehogs that live under the shed and the resident song thrush and blackbirds! 

Only 2.2mm so far, hard to see how it can get to average (52mm) - though a couple of thundery showers could soon change that.

Precipitation is falling..

 14.7mm   Yesterday

   3.9mm   Today

22.8mm    Total for this month..

  6.3mm Today.

25.2mm This Month

A dry day here today, just 2mm to add from some showery rain overnight. Total now at 22.8mm. I mentioned having hedgehogs in the garden - handy for predating on slugs 'n' snails in the often damp conditions here .. well, I've since found out that slugs 'n' snails can be lethal to hedgehogs!  ..  http://thehedgehog.co.uk/feeding-hedgehogs/slugs-and-snails/

  6.3mm   Yesterday

  0.0mm   Today

25.2mm    This Month.

  7  Dry  Days.

25.2mm Precipitation.

Another dry interlude .. nothing measurable since the early hours of the 11th. Maybe something measurable by the 18th. Total remaining at 22.8mm. These alternating dry/wet conditions with plenty of sunshine mixed in are certainly making the garden grow!   

Total 25.2mm.

9 Days no precipitation .The last 3 days being consecutive.

We are still on 2mm, I think it could easily be the driest month in a long time.
There will be some later this week but the following week dry again so under 10mm is possible.
March 2011 had only 7.8mm

0.3mm  This afternoon.   After 5 consecutive dry days...

Total now  25.5mm .
