Blimey Richard!

Where have you been all this? Nice to see a post from you.

You're right about the drying weather. I'm hoping my loft is going to dry
out as it's been raining up there for the last month, i.e., condensation
dripping off the roof liner and causing damp patches on the ceiling plaster
board as works its way through the loft insulation. Never had this happen
before and I suppose is symptomatic of the very damp climate here in the
Otter Valley.

I reckon I am going to have to make some ventilation as the loft itself seem
to have none whatsoever.

Not so warm here as we have an easterly and I suspect the track of it has
meant the sea has had very little influence here for the last 100 miles or
so.

Currently at 20:25, 3.0C, RH 80%, DP 0.0C, 1005.1 mb (F), Wind 7 mph E.

Hi Nick,

Is there an air gap between the top of your insulation and the roof
liner ? Air flow within this space should minimise significant
condensation from forming.

Couldn't resist a quick posting this evening. All of this hype does
get to you after a while! Apologies to all readers of uk.sci.weather
for my slightly cynical posting ;-)

Temperature and DP on the rise (+6.2C and +2.5C respectively)....
washing drying quickly. Just think how many units of electricity us
domestic users could save if everybody had their washing outside to
dry at present rather than using a tumble drier. Obvious exceptions
apply!

BTW, +0.9C 24-hr temperature anomally in Dartington compared with eLTA
during 2007.

Happy New Year.

Best wishes,
Richard.
