Quite persistent rain for a change in the SE today, looking at the
radar I think it's more over Essex than Kent. 2.6mm so far.

Pretty miserable day here Keith. Autumn has arrived....
Showery Rain all day 3.0mm so far. *Temp 16c.

Yes, a bit of a rubbish high this one - we only got 3 good (10th,11th,
12th) and one goodish (14th) days out of it - no better than August
was here. Incidentally is there a good method of figuring out whether
highs end up being completely ineffectual against fronts? This is not
the first time it happens, the last Saturday in Sep 2004, and the last
Wednesday in May this year are others.

It says something about the climate of the SE when 3mm of rain is
enough to get a thread going!

It's been the sunniest high for 3 months here. Wednesday-Sunday 5
lovely days with prolonged sunshine, virtually unbroken Thursday,
Saturday & Sunday. Never particularly windy, temperature peaking at
22.4C on Sunday when there was hardly a breath of wind.

Much cooler & cloudier yesterday, but back to good sunny spells today,
though still with a blustery rather cool NNE wind (Force 4 generally -
but gusty). Wind forecast to drop a little & veer more towards ENE
tomorrow, which should make it warmer again down here. It looks like
pressure will remain high towards the SW for some time yet, with the
odd little hiccup.

All makes a nice change from the 227.9mm I recorded in July!
