In Norway we would convert that to mm per 24h, which would be
something like 87mm (but the weatherman actually adds "last day"
(which is 24h)) and also last 30 days average.

In Germany we count everything in liters (litres) on a square meter
and you have to watch out for the time measure as they sometimes tell
you liters/h. In retrospect we normally get the total since it started
to rain or whatever. 130 liters should clean the air, I think.

It actually hits me why the English don't write Metres when they write
litres, but that's probably me being ignorant.
