Anyone care to comment on this - it's the third night running now...

Same here in south east Devon, only 4.6 mm this month so far and
everything is dust dry. All the rain has passed to the west and east or
developed to the north.

Sopping wet in my garden in Haytor this morning Nick and still raining. Soil
damp all the way down and grass is growing furiously. Mind you the garden is
looking a treat with the hanging baskets out (not yet had to water them),
and the veg. plot growing well. Mind you I agree it has been dry with just
11.4 mm so far this month, but it rarely gets dusty up here - thank goodness
:-)
