The forecasts I heard stressed the drizzle or LIGHT rain expected. Only
'nuisance value' was mentioned which is not too easy to interpret though
I took it to be small amounts!

... indeed, I was screaming at the telly yesterday when the presenter
(can't remember who) was waffling about 'not a lot of rain with a high'
nonsense; can't comment further 'cos I don't know what they were basing
that on, but you can't *ever* relax with a slow-moving high pressure,
particularly one parked with it's c-o-g well to the west as this one.

For most of yesterday the nusiance value staement was correct but in the
evening there were some very short heavy bursts of rain. Total fore
yesterday was 2.5mm most of which fell over a relatively short period. I did
wonder what was the reason and it was good to see the explanation this
morning.
