    1.) All figures are in mm's - 25.4 mm = 1 inch
    2.) AWS records used upto and including July 2010 - 'Standard' 5" Snowdon copper rain gauge used from August 2011.
    3.) A = 'Rain Days' - days on which a measurable (0.2mm) amount of rainfall/ppt was recorded
    4.) B = 'Wet Days'  - days on which 1.0 mm>= of rainfall/ppt was recorded
    5.) whilst some figures are rounded up/down, year totals are exact
    6.) * includes 7 days when 0.2mm of melted frost (FE) was recorded - no actual ppt from above.
