Default Rain in SE

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.www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/recent.html.

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!


Hi, Graham,

You have to smile don't you, I need a foot of snow, a -10C, a gale
(proper one) or 80mm rain in a couple of hours to get any replies!
We've had some cracking days out of the high even though we face the
NE'lies. Just an off day yesterday, but this is the NE Pennines and we
take the weather as it comes which is often sideways.
