Default Damp lingering - err I think not!

This morning's 9.00 am News 24 Forecast for the S.E corner was for a
mainly dull day with some of the early light drizzle lingering for a while
before clearing into the North Sea. So seeing a cloudy but not too damp
start I figured a day out at the Wildlife Reserve would be ok. By
lunchtime 11.30am the ain increased and we have since had 9mm of heavy at
times rain on a continuous S.E streamer from France. It has been almost
dark all day as well. Good forecast at three hours range - not!

Same hear in Brighton even the street lights at lunchtime were on, Probably
the worse day for ages and as you say the forecast was for improving!
Still moderate rain with the cloudbase on the deck and about 1000m
visability.

Yes Rob, I think that is the point. I realise elsewhere probably was an
improvemnet but it has actually been our worst day of the month in terms
of wet and miserable yet it was sold to me with such enthusiasm this
morning as an improvement on yesterday,although lingering damp was
mentioned.
