Default {WR} Haytor 12/12/08 (Here comes the rain)

13/12/08

0830

Front went through at 0230 but then with an hour's very heavy rain at 20
mm/h.
Event total is 50 mm which is par for the course for a heavy rain event on
Dartmoor.
Needless to say, everywhere is sopping.

Temperature fell smartly, circa 3 degrees on frontal passage and is now
+3.9C and falling slowly and overcast.

Continuous moderate rain.
Wind freshening and bar falling quickly.
A wet and windy Dec. night ahead!

Heavy wintry showers developing tomorrow as deep cold air digs into the
SW with snow at altitude.
