NOTES:-

 
    1.) All figures are in mm's - 25.4 mm = 1 inch
    2.) A = 'Rain Days' - days on which a measurable (0.2mm) amount of rainfall/ppt was recorded
    3.) B = 'Wet Days'  - days on which 1.0 mm>= of rainfall/ppt was recorded
    4.) whilst some figures are rounded up/down, year totals are exact
    5.) * includes 7 days when 0.2mm of melted frost (FE) was recorded - no actual ppt from above.
