fish pond's overflowing, as usual in this sort of weather and field ditch beside the drive brim full
and on the subject of weather, was watching this earlier ...... some scary sh*t on there

How we measure rainfall
Many different types of rain-gauge have been designed and used, most consisting of a circular collector, delineating the area of the sample, and a funnel that channels the collected rain into a measuring mechanism.

still doesn't explain how (for instance) a forecast (or stated) 10mm of rain in a 24hr period can be so far out - like 500% sometimes

Up here and to the West yes, but whether they will in some of the Southern counties is debatable - they didn't last Winter as it was too dry down there. They don't even know if or when their hosepipe bans will be lifted.And they'll all be filled always have and always will
There was a drought in the 90s when they were tankering water from Cumbria down to Yorks to keep us going. Since then they linked a lot of the Northern reservoirs by pipe, but I don't think that network links to the South East which it should.
Anyhow this eve the temps have halved up here, I could see my breath earlier and it's currently showing 5c out there.
Last night the old house got a right old bashing from wind and rain and it doesn't leak anymore, I can't say i'm missing the internal water features
The bits of field drainage i've done are working well, it's a pleasure to walk around and see water flowing out of pipes rather than overland and then getting stuck in it.
