This note is a follow up to my April rainfall summary. By way of background, I have been keeping track of rainfall (as many other folks on the Island do as well) at our property on Foster Point Road for over 5 years. All readings are in millimetres (mm), and include an estimate for snow. This month for comparison purposes, I have included the yearly totals for Victoria Airport. I will do another summary at the end of the third quarter (September).
