But the UK's been awake all day (it's 3:12pm) - so very surprising that it's only generated 180k visits.
Maybe most people simply don't click the Google Doodle?
Seems strange.
Yes, there will be many more hits for the next days stats.

That doodle was from Aug 17 2011 - 2.3M hits
Doodle doesn't point directly to the wikipedia article. It only does search for the name. Wikipedia being the first result gets a lot of traffic but there obviously isn't 100% CTR.
It only presents stats for entire days, so it'll show today's hits tomorrow (it updates an hour or so after midnight GMT).
most people go to google because they're looking for something. that something isn't typically the subject of the google doodle.
