You should get rain, perhaps a reasonable amount, this afternoon,
looking at the rainfall radar. Your chances of rain tomorrow and into
Saturday are looking good as well. However, it has looked like you'd
get lots of rain and it hasn't really happened - last Sunday was a
classic example of the forecast not matching the outcome. It's the
kind of thing that happens in an Atlantic set-up in summer in the east
though isn't it?
