A Lot of Rain

We have a rain gauge in the garden. It is nice to keep some track of the amount of rain falling, especially since the amount of water in our well depends in part on this. Every morning, Daniel checks the rain gauge and empties it.

This morning, we had a record high amount of water in the rain gauge. The gauge measures up to 35 millimetres of rain (this is the imagined height of the rainfall on a flat surface of 1 metre squared). The rain gauge had more water in it than this. 

It rained all day yesterday and all night before today, so the resultin the rain gauge was not strange. It was still a record. We are happy we can stay indoors most of the time in rainy weather like this.
