Default [WR] Haytor (A foot of rain !)

Hi Will,

some decent downpours over the past three days have boosted the Exeter
monthly total to about half a foot!
27th 16.9 mm
28th 20.3 mm
29th 14.9 mm
This is also around 2" over the three days, a lot for the Exeter rain
shadow area! I guess that's it for the month unless we get any showers
today though,

cheers, Pete

Yes the heavy rain (circa 2") in past couple of days has now increased my
monthly rainfall total for October 2004 to 314.1 mm. More than a foot !
And an average of 10mm/day, which is a sobering thought.

This is the highest rainfall monthly total I have ever recorded in my life both
professionally and personally. Mind you this is the first time I have ever
lived/worked in a high rainfall area.

To celebrate I will be pouring myself half a shandy this evening :-)

YES - COME ON - YOU CAN DO IT - Brilliant !

Ecstatic cheers,

Will.
