AWS 45 mm (monthly average is 86 mm)
May is normally our driest month!

Bit of sun this morning but also a few showers.
Ground wet all the way through and garden growing like mad.
Daffodils and primroses now well over but bluebells and paeonies out and rhodos
and azaleas are looking splendid. Several clematis out too (the pink one on the
web cam shows up well) and all the trees are now in full leaf. Broad beans and
peas growing well in the veg. plot. All seems pretty normal really, maybe a week
or so early.

Current temperature 10.1C .

Hi, Will,

Keep drying it out for us in the north-east and be careful you don't
put your spade through those webbed feet!
6.4mm so far this month and today is another wet one, 0.6mm so far.
Hoping for some dry SW'lies soon - these North sea winds are a pain!

If anyone locally is at a loose end tonight, we have Paul Mooney (ex
Newcastle WC, now BBC) at our NE Centre Royal Metsoc meeting in St
Chad's College, Durham 7:45pm.

He he will do Ken, we love it up here really!
0.6 mm is that rain? LOL that wouldn't even count as a heavy dew on Dartmoor :-)

Cheers,

Will.

Maybe when we going camping this August it will be warm and dry. Last couple
of years after generally warm dry Summers the weather had gotten very wet
just before we go camping. I am hoping if we get the wet spell now then the
dry spell will be in August (fingers crossed).

Here in Okehampton, on the N side of the moor up to & incl this
mornings reading, we've had 98.3mm (all fallen since the 6th).

This compares to the average of 83mm - the driest month of the year in
these parts
