Continuous moderate rain eased to slight around 0745Z
with another short moderate burst at 0800Z, then turning
more to rain and drizzle mixed.

Currently misty to the southwest with a pocket of very
low stratus, almost behaving like lifted fog and is drifting
northwards close to our west. Hardly a breath of wind
an hour ago (calm before the storm?).
