Continuous rain in Chalfont St Giles for the past hour. Now (11.25
BST)
moderate in intensity. The radar doesn't look too promising for the
next hour or two.


Rain ceased 11.45 BST but it looks as if there is more to come. More
than a hint of autumn in the air with the temperature 14.5c in a fresh
WNW wind.


.... yes, we've had a couple of fairly heavy showers here in the past
couple of hours, though the sun is out now and it's looking quite
pleasant. With the cyclonic look to the pattern (surface and aloft), the
weather type is not too surprising ...

Had the "Times" on the 'phone an hour ago wanting to know if it was
worth moving the Bank Holiday (for EWNI) back to the start of August (as
it used to be prior to 1965). I said moving holidays around to catch the
weather was like a fisherman moving along a riverbank after several
hours of "no-take", only to find that the pitch left behind immediately
yielded results to the next angler!
