Default [WR] Cold & wet in Devon

After a brief scan of my old data it seems that today has been the coldest
June day I have ever recorded with a maximum of only 13.5C.

With continuously overcast skies, this is likely to have been the first
sunless day this month so far and 32 mm of rain has fallen in the last 24
hours. Now a wind has picked up gusting to over 35 mph adding to what has
been the most grottiest, mankiest and miserable June day I have ever known
(and I've known some bad 'uns!).

Currently at 18:25, 13.0C, RH 83%, DP 10.4C, 1001.9 mb (R), Wind 18.5 mph 30
sec mean.

Yep, not the best of days, but it could have been much worse!

In Haytor, last 24 hour rainfall was only 25.4 mm (monthly total now 177.3 mm,
187% of normal).
Day max. a chilly 12.3C and a force 5-6 sustained wind.
A single figure max. would have been more noteworthy and twice the rainfall.
We escaped most of the weather today, but I'm thinking of lighting a fire :-)
