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. |
