Rain at last! It started to rain at around 5:30 this morning (Monday
23rd April), the first rain since the morning of 30th March.

This is the longest spell my weather station has recorded without rain
in its 2 years, and the longest I recall since I started manual recording
in 2000.

There have been a couple of days when there was light mist in the air
during this spell, which a more sensitive gauge may have picked up, but
nothing to make the ground damp.
