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.

Sun now shining in west Cornwall after a very miserable start, so hopefully
it will head your way, Will.

Thanks MCC I'll look forward to that.
