Default [WR] Haytor 26/8/09 (Wet Bill)

Continuous rain and drizzle most of the day, sometimes moderate to heavy. A
few sunny intervals this afternoon, but now drizzly again this evening. Bit
gusty last night but only a F5.

Rainfall 22.6 mm (which is not a lot for these parts from a depression).
Max. temp 17.0C

Vegetation sopping wet again and grass growing furiously :-(

Not much here from Bill Will.

Just 5.7 mm, most of which was drizzle this morning. The sun managed to
shine a bit this afternoon.

Rather windy first thing though with frequent gusts over 30 mph.

(19:20), 17.3°C, RH 87%, DP 15.1°C, 1008 hPa (R), Wind 3 mph SSW.

Only 12.0 mm here which, given the hype, was quite surprising.

It was a foul day until tea time with driving drizzle for much of the
time; yeuch! Nothing special in the temperatures either. I was in the
office much of the time, so it didn't bother me but I got wet loading
the car, then again shopping in Newton Abbot on the way home - where
the weather was particularly foul for a while. The top stayed up on
the car!

Sopping wet this morning on the grass and the cars due to a heavy dew.
7mm of rain in Teignmouth yesterday.

Looking forward to a better weekend and Bank Holiday Holiday Monday.
Not wall-to-wall sunshine, but plenty of it. Saturday and Monday look
the best days down here. A Dartmoor excursion could be in order!

Why do you only post on here when you consider you have more rainfall
than anyone else?

What is your problem with one-upmanship?

I tend to post when the weather is reasonably noteworthy, and living at
altitude in the SW, that is either when it rains or snows. Sometimes when it
is lovely and clear, hardly ever when it is warm, sunny or unusually dry,
I'll leave that to others. "Bill" was a high interest system and I thought
that meteorologists might be interested in what rainfall in the upland SW
was. Was it the highest total in the SW? I haven't a clue, but I doubt it.
