slight to moderate rain 1730z-0130z with brief heavy bursts
around 0100z. Only a few mm in total, though.

RMK: We've probably been lucky but it has turned out very much
better than the wet day that was forecast. It's been a mostly dry
day with sunny intervals here and quite warm and muggy. There was
a brief sharp shower just after 1030z then between 1330z and 1345z
thunder was rumbling as a storm passed by to the north. We got
only a few spots of rain here. It turned out to be an excellent
morning on the golf course and I fielded quite a few disparaging
comments about weather forecasting and forecasters! Max
temp 19.0 and there's been very little wind.
