Default Some low rainfall stats

For the first four months of this year (120 days) total rainfall is 106 mm.
I have recorded precipitation of 1mm 37 times.
On 33 occasions there was 5mm or less. Only 3 times was there 6mm-10mm. Only
once was there more than 10mm (14mm on April 9th) and there were no
occasions with more than 15mm.
Values are for 24 hr period midnight to midnight.(non std , I know)
Location is Laindon, S.Essex which is approx 5 miles North of the Thames
Estuary and has 350ft hills between. (Yes, that is a hill in Essex!)
