Around 30 millimetres of rain fell in the Island yesterday, which means that since the start of June a total of more than 80 millimetres has fallen. The Met Office’s John Searson said that it was already more than the average for the month – and there is still more to come. ‘With more rain forecasted for today, we expect the figure for the month to be close to 90 millimetres, but with more settled weather expected for the rest of the week it should fall short of being the wettest June on record,’ he said. That record was set in 1912 ,when 126.6 millimetres of rain.
