No, it's not wet everywhere.
According to the 12:55 R4 forecast, 'yet more heavy rain for England and Wales'. A bit of a generalisation that. As far as the SW is concerned there has been very little rain west of Exeter (100 miles from here) The total rainfall here in the last week has been, well nil. I rather suspect that the same is the case for several other parts. Yesterday afternoon saw prolonged sunshine, and great visibility but with a very cool wind. Graham Penzance |

According to the 12:55 R4 forecast, 'yet more heavy rain for England and
Wales'. Lots of rain here in mid-Norfolk this morning. A bit of a generalisation that. As far as the SW is concerned there has been very little rain west of Exeter (100 miles from here) But we all know, don't we that when broadcast from London, the only bit of the country that counts is London ;-) Cheers. --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune **$om $ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- |

I rather suspect that the same is the case for several other parts. Yesterday afternoon saw prolonged sunshine, and great visibility but with a very cool wind. Not only in the SW, Graham. It's been an excellent, almost completely dry week here, too in the "Solent - South Downs Gap". OK, there was a little light rain around 3 am last night but probably less than 1mm and no visible evidence of it remained at breakfast time this morning. No thunder or lightning, either. The radar shows plenty of activity over the Isle of Wight (I'm within 10 miles of it) and from the South Downs Northwards (also within 10 miles) but barely a drop, here. This sort of thing seems to happen periodically and I am beginning to wonder if there really is a climatalogical "Isle of Wight - South Downs" gap... Oh, and the sun's just come out, temperature now up to 15 degrees so it's back into the garden for me! -- Dave Fareham Hampshire |

Yn erthygl , sgrifennodd
Howard Neil : No rain here in West Wales for the last 7 days, either. Slight dampness in the bottom of the raingauge yesterday. I've been cursing the forecasts over the last few days - each time they say it will rain, each time aI believe them so don't water the garden. Water buts empty already, garden drying out. Our private water supply was close to drying out last year; what will happen this year after a winter where it never fully recovered, I don't know.

Our private water supply was close to drying out last year; what will happen this year after a winter where it never fully recovered, I don't know. You have my sympathy. We have a borehole into a massive aquifer and so can cope. However, we also have a well and three of four springs to water the livestock. Our well ran rather low last year (although is OK at the moment) and this caused a few problems. Grass is growing very well in the fields at present. -- Howard Neil |
