Default [OBS] Romsey - Saturday 20th March 2010

Another delightful day. Non-stop, mostly moderate drizzle,
sometimes accompanied by rain (but never rain on it's own
so far today), has added just 2mm in the last 6 hours. Still
get wet as soon as you step outside, all the same.

I was beginning to wonder whether my hygrometer was stuck
at over 95% but when I've looked oustide to see drizzle, rain,
mist, or fog every time over the last 2 days, I realise there's
nothing wrong with it! Minimal variation in the temperature,
wedged between 10.6C and 11.1C.
