RMK: 8Ns015/020 .. one of those rare occasions when I think I can observe
Nimbostratus and nothing else - uniform base and rain bucketing down! It's
been raining steadily here, mainly moderate, since 1230Z: all buckets,
water butts etc., nicely full ;-) =

Martin,
5mm of rain here and the butts are approx half full. I guess it takes 10mm
to fill a 210litre butt.

Looks like the other half will be filled at the weekend!
