17.6 mm of rain here in the Exe Valley last night. The temperature has been
rising all night (from a low of 10.5C at 21:00) and was 16.0C at 08:00.

Most of the rivers around here such as the Clyst are flooded, and poor old
Ottery St. Mary has been inundated again from the River Otter despite their
flood protection efforts.

I gather something nasty is brewing out in the Atlantic for this evening and
overnight.

Despite posts to the contrary, the weather has certainly been interesting
doon 'ere this autumn.

Currently at 09:00: 16.2C, RH 87%, DP 14.0C, 1001.2 mb (S), Wind S 5.0 mph.

Well the weather here has got really exciting now.

At 2310 and since 1830 we have had 33.8 mm of rain and the stuff is still
coming
down at 5-6 mm/h rate.
Wind has picked up with gales in exposed areas. Peak gust here at 3m agl
only 25
knots though due to some shelter.

Driving back from Torquay this evening the roads were awash with local
flooding
(bow waves again :-))
Ahoy there me hearties. But things got hairy coming up from Liverton
climbing
through a wooded area going up to Ilsington at 2250 the whole of the road
was
carpeted in several centimetress of leaves, twigs, branches and the rain
was
heaving down it was very very difficult to keep the car going straight as
it was
sliding all over the place on the twigs and I nearly came off the road.
Lane
outside our house has once again been a river and I dread to think what
the moor
must be like now.

I love it really!

COME ON :-)

Total rainfall so far this month 37.6 mm grin

Will.
