Default [WR] Persistent thick drizzle Coventry and environs

Not showing much on the rainfall radar, we have been affected by
persistent drizzly rain for much of the day, keeping everything
thoroughly wet and miserable but probably not adding much more than 1
or 2 mm to the rainfall figures. This drizzle seems to be coming up
the Gloucestershire Gap (as distinct from the Cheshire Gap).

It's the sort of drizzle that (totally unscientific) wets you more
than a tropical downpour, as my mother would say. Must be due to
number of droplets per cubic metre, which always seems to at its
greatest in these situations.

Same sort of weather here in Wolverhampton for much of Friday.
