It's moving through Southern Ireland for sure, but the rain just doesn't
seem to be getting appreciably nearer to me.
The patch of rain over Cumbria certainly doesn't seem to have shifted
for several hours.

Hi, Col,
The weather warning for heavy rain issued yesterday for Cumbria was worded
in such a way that I thought it might stick there for some time.

Usual rain-shadow effect here, just 0.6mm in the past 24 hours, I expect
much more in Upper Teesdale.
