Rain now just a light drizzle. Wind now force 1 and we are in fog.
Wind briefly touched full gale for a while after midnight.
Total rainfall for event to 0700 this morning 43.7 mm.
So nothing special here.

Monthly total now 82.5mm .
Could still be a 200mm+ summer month :-) Well you can dream can't you :-)

Turning into a really foul evening now.
In last 20 minutes wind has picked up to a steady NE'N force 6-7 with gusts to
gale force and still rising. Continuous heavy rain lashing across the fields.

Not a night to be out up here.
More like a typical winter's evening than July ! Although at circa 10 deg C it
is a lot warmer than it would be in winter.

Just a normal depression blow up here at Haytor.

Rainfall to 2030 local just 24.5 mm and blowing force 5-6 (about 25 knots)

with
the north in the wind giving me a bit of shelter.

Total rain for month so far now 63.3 mm.

Still raining hard (just about heavy) and wind is picking up slightly.
I think as the low begins to move away we'll begin to pull in a gale, but

again
there should be plenty of north in it so I don't expect much if any damage
locally.

Yesterday evening outside in shorts and tee-shirt supping a beer and

listening
to the cows and birds in a balmy 15-16 degrees temperature now seems a

lifetime
away :-)

Summery cheers :-)
