The highs & lows

A little ancedote from lunchtime today,  
I was out in 30+ degrees (today 36 max, Thursday 38, Friday 40 and Saturday 43 degrees) purchasing a rain gauge, and then buying lunch.

Four people made comment on the gauge

• 2 liked the look
• 2 asked where I had bought it (was the last in stock!)
• 1 told me I was wasting my money it isn't going to rain
• 1 that I was being over optimistic

So maybe I'm optimistic as it can record up to 250mm (that's nearly ten inches - should be enough)
