>May has turned out wetter than usual in parts of the country — which sounds crazy given how dry the month started — but it’s true.
>After four to five weeks without a drop of rain in some areas, the dry spell came to a sudden end, right on cue for the late May holiday weekend. And what an end it was.
>Some of the heaviest downpours hit western parts of the country, where rain and thundery downpours brought more than four weeks’ worth of rainfall in just a few days.
>One of the wettest spots over the weekend was Stewarton in East Ayrshire, where an astonishing 98mm of rain fell — far exceeding the May average of 69mm.

Thursday is bring another band of rain with some heavier downpours forecast for Saturday.
So it is not over yet for may.
Taps oan (when brushing teeth)

I, for one, welcome our new crop saviours
Wonder if that’ll lead to increased risk of flood, given dry soil tends to be more hydrophobic.
