Well, today has been the second thoroughly wet day, the last being
Saturday, when the rain has been relentless ALL day. I know how Will
feels on Dartmoor :-)

Today's rain currently stands at 10.8mm, last Saturday saw 13.0mm.
So February is now running at 132% rainfall and the mean temperature
+2.0°C above the 1971-2000 average. And if I includes four days that
nothing more than about 2 minutes sunshine I now have had a total of
13 sunless days this month. I was beginning to wonder why I was
hanging upside down from the ceilings nowadays!
