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*.

I've just returned from a day in the great outdoors and I can
confidently report that it was wet. Another burst of mod to
heavy rain as I type, so the totals listed below for Romsey
are rapidly becoming out of date.

Last 12 hours (09/0900-09/2100Z)... 26.5mm
Last 24 hours (08/2100-09/2100Z)... 38.2mm
Month to date.................................... 66.1mm
