 +----------------------------------------------

The rainfall over the past three days has put us well above the climatological mean for April, in fact we are doubling it!  The featured image is of daily rainfall accumulations for April 2007 and how the accumulated value departed from the climatology.  The good news is that the forecast looks dry and very warm for this weekend, which is definetely needed.  The next chance of showers appears to hold off until mid next week.
