Do you not have a local weather service ? Here in the SW we have David Braine
and he is superb. It can be bucketing down here in Haytor with either dry
conditions or just drizzle lower down, but you can bet your bottom penny that
David would have mentioned that contrast. Quite often he shows charts with
maximum temperatures some 4 deg lower over the high moors than shown on the
national forecast (which are presumably for Exeter) and they are generally not
far off the mark judging by my readings. Check out your local forecast if you
can Graham.

Hi Will

This was our local forecast!!

I watch the main forecast at around 07.50 then the local forecast, both
did not mention the amount of rain we've had today.
On Midlands today (18.50) Shefali has just said the Potteries (ie

Stoke) has had some heavy rain today, she's not wrong there!

Looking at the forecasts this morning I really only expected a couple

of mm at the most, we are now up to 21.6mm and still raining (19.50)

Cheers for the reply anyway Will, always welcome,
