Temp +13.8C and moderate rain just setting in.
Visibility deteriorating and turning gloomy, wind picking up. House lights
on. MetO warning out for 30-40mm this afternoon - that should be
interesting!

Heavy rain just started after a brief earlier respite. Visibility
deteriorating quickly now and turning quite dark and menacing. Temperature
has gone *down* to +13.1C.
Not an afternoon for walking on the moor, I hope the warnings have been
heeded as rivers will rise rapidly due to saturated watersheds on the high
moor.
