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.

Light intermittent rain all day, some quite heavy showers mixed in.

BTW Adrian do you pronounce Pontrhydygroes has Pont-reed-grows ?
