All shifted east from here now. It's been a pretty foul day with some
blustery winds and 8mm of rain in Teignmouth. It's not possible to
judge whether the whole weather warning was justified, as it covered a
very wide area and someone within that area may have got some severe,
or extreme weather. It certainly wasn't justified for this particular
location, though the weather did get interesting for a short while.

Nothing special up here in Haytor. Only 13.0 mm total and briefly just 45
mm/h rate. A tad breezy at times but nothing for Dartmoor. I doubt the
locals would have noticed today's event very much. :-)

How come your rain today total on your webpage shows 9.1 mm Will? Do
you measure manually as well?

Oh yes I do it properly with a 5" gauge. AWS is fine for rates but you need
a check gauge for accurate totals, especially at altitude in exposed
conditions where the elevated AWS can seriously under-read.
