Default Haytor 21/05/06 (another miserable May day)

Hmmm maybe. This is warm sector and it is raining at 3-6 mm/h, well this is
Dartmoor after all I suppose!
Now (1140) 15.5 mm for event and rate 3.3 mm/h. Temp 10.4 deg C.
At least we rarely get standing water here as the soil is well drained and on a
slope so it just runs away once saturated.
Occasionally in really heavy rain, it will pool on the drive.
What's depressing me is that it is so gloomy, lights are on in my study, it
might as well be the middle of December rather than the end of May :-(

May is normally our driest month at just 86 mm.

May is my favourite month, but the weather has conspired to ruin it :-(
Yes I'm in a foul mood this morning! :-) If I hear any more words about

drought
on the TV or radio I'll throw a brick at it.


Cheer up Will the sun will be out later this afternoon, at least, in
between heavy showers!

11.0mm so far from this event - current rate 3.2mm/hr
78.2mm so far this month (115% eLTA)...standing water now on the back
lawn.

Regards,
Richard.
