And the other thing is the rainfall totals for south Devon underline the third drought this area has experienced this year.

6.4 mm of rain this month to date and 59 mm of rain for the summer so far.

Today's sunshine should bring the monthly total to 100 hours and the
sunshine for the summer so far is now at 635 hours.

The low rainfall and high sunshine amount combined with above average
temperatures means we've been stuck in an almost persistent
environmental drought here since mid-June.
