I'm finally able to access my rain gauge memory: Friday Sep 28 had 3.68" here in La Manz. Here's the daily totals for the last week:

Sat 22: 1.36" (from extremely loud thunderstorms late at night.)
Sun 23: 0.16" (pre-dawn)
Mon 24: 0"
Tue 25: 0.10"
Wed 26: 0.04"
Thu 27: 0.40"
Fri 28: 3.68"
Sat 29: 0.06"
Sun 30: 0"

If you include Friday as a weekend day, the "Weekend Effect" has dropped at least 0.5" on 7 of the last 8 weekends (Sep 15/16 was rain-free.)

I'll post the September weather statistics soon.

PS, I use a standard tipping-bucket rain gauge with wireless connection to an inside memory unit: http://www.acurite.com/weather/rain-gauge/acurite-digital-rain-gauge-with-self-emptying-wireless-rain-collector-00875.html . Walmart in the US had it a few months ago for $20. Works well, except I can't get much more than 20 feet range for the wireless connection.
