I have stuck my neck out for Monday in my regular weekly column.

I wonder what Dawlish Paul will make of that?

Thanks Will, saved to favs. I'm at 500' on an East facing slope and I can
see the tips of the Tors, about 20 miles to the East (assuming it's not
raining, ha!).

I suspect we get more rain here, as it always seems brighter to the East. Is
there a weather map, that shows historic rainfall data? I saw one for May
but this was text only and lumped everything under regions. Interestingly it
gave double the rainfall for the Southwest, than for Western Scotland - an
area that's traditionally damp.

Last year the jetstreams were blamed for the high rainfall (too far South)
is the same case this year?TIA.
