from what people have been saying, in the South it isn't just dying out,
it
is positively extinct!

So far this month I've recorded measurable rain on 7 days...

For a grand total of 3.3mm.

good grief, we have had more than that an hour!

Coming from Cumbria, I always have a feeling that rain measured in mm isn't
really rain at all, more condensation, or thick mist. Real rain is measured
in inches :-)
