Continuous moderate or heavy rain and drizzle since circa 0900 on 26th. F5
to F7 wind depending on exposure.
Event total for Haytor so far is 40mm but at Postbridge (369m asl) it is now
up to 131mm. Postbridge is not the most exposed spot either. In this airmass
that will be up on and around Ryders Hill (500m asl) where I estimate that
circa 200mm will have fallen so far. Needless to say the moor is sopping wet
and water is flowing everywhere. The river Dart is in spate and the serious
kayakers will be relishing the exciting conditions. No impacts locally apart
from the usual dampness everywhere one gets in these conditions. My patio is
still waterlogged but water is running away nicely downhill. Colder and dry
tomorrow with some sunshine, that'll be a change, one day wonder though,
LOL.
