Default Heavy rain on the way for SE Dartmoor and other parts of Devon

Well after just 2.3 mm rain only so far this August it looks like the more
normal deluges are on their way!!!
It is going to be quite a shock for the tourists I think. Temperatures back to
normal now too, peaking at 17-19C.
Only concern is that there could be some flooding lower down due to a
combination of rapid run-off over hard dry ground and blocked drains. We shall
see. Garden coped well in this dry spell, with only the spuds and leeks
requiring any water, grass still green in half the garden.

PS interesting sailing last weekend in northerly force 4-5 occasionally 6,
excellent experience in these waters in the "wild west".

Will.
