Default Dust dry in Devon

21.4mm so far this month in Dartington. 286.8mm so far for the year,
which is very much on the dry side. Our garden is also extremely dry
considering the time of year. With vegetation now drawing up many
gallons of water per day, ground reserves must be getting quite
depleted. Our friends in the SE are probably having a wry smile!

I doubt that we will see very much overnight tonight and into tomorrow.
The fronts moving ESE look like that they will decay fairly rapidly in
the south with probably little more than -RADZ away from hills.

Regards,
Richard.

Dartington, South Hams.

The garden is extremely dry and really needs a long watering. Maybe get a
damping down tonight/tomorrow.
