The Weather Page, 2006

I gave up trying to work out if we´re getting a decent amount of rain this year, and since the forecasters thought we wouldn´t,  I bought a small rain gauge.  Here are my records (updated weekly), and a sticky link to Metcheck (which I think´s neat) so current weather forecasts are displayed.

October was very wet and took us to above average for the period since I started measuring. Hopefully we´ll keep going...
