Ah this is more like it but it took its time to come 14.53hrs now and
its
"official rain" the sort that bounces off the pavement not heavy but
light.
Though how nuch of this before it peters out i'd be surprised

It's been p***ing it down here in Southamptonland for 12 hours now,
light to moderate but continuous. Over half an inch of it so far at a
guess (had a quick glance at the rain guage but I wasn't staying out
there to measure it!). From the radar, Nigel in Romsey should have had
more than me.

That'll take it well over 50mm here, for the month to date. Enough! I
say *squelch*.


50mm, is that all - drizzle :-)

I daren't think how much has fallen on Dartmoor today. I've had 11mm so
far which doesn't sound much but that's 32 mm this week, which is a lot
for here!


43.4mm here in Haytor, so far ...
Higher up there has been circa 69mm near Postbridge at 360m asl.
I estimate 90mm on the most exposed Tors.

and it's still heaving down at 3.3 mm/h here.

Circa 170mm in the month so far.
