Just 2.4mm thus far since midnight here. The northern side of the Clyde
valley sits in a marked rain shadow caused by the Southern uplands when
southerlies come into play, and today has been a perfect demonstration of
this so far.


Indeed - we're less than 30 miles away and we've had 21mm since
midnight. 10mm of that fell in an hour between 0812 and 0912.
