After this morning's deluge (14.6 mm) my JJA total is 420.6 mm.
Does not compete with Haytor or Evershot but still likely to be a
record for Wembury.
It is amazing that Haytor has 240 mm more when it is only 40 km away
as the
pigeon flies.
Not only due to elevation clearly.

Weather systems have been doing funny things this summer.
I believe it is called ECWOLEXIT.
Enhanced Convergence Where One Least Expects IT
or,
Enhanced Convergence Where One Left EXITs
for the initiated.
