June 2010 rainfall amounts are already on the way to setting new records in some areas. Some interesting statistics are beginning to be gathered at our office. Below is a table, which is a work in progress, of the numbers available so far. In the days ahead we will update and extend the table to cover more sites and include up-to-date information. The data depicted currently is from June 1st to June 15th. An asterisk (*) in the ranking column indicates the current rainfall amount does not fall within the top 20.
