Report your rainfall throughout the Day here either in Millimeters or just the conditions. You do not need a Weather Station to do this.

It has been a damp, humid and gloomy day here today with rain off and on all day although the cloud base did lift for a period early in the afternoon.  We are currently "back in the clouds" and it is raining again.  The farmers and the horticulturalists are all happy though as it was getting rather dry before this rain.
