Temp 10.6
Continuous heavy driving rain
Daily total 10.2 mm so far
Visibility 300 metres
Monthly total 109.9 mm
Bar 993.4 falling quickly

May is my favourite month, but the weather has conspired to ruin it :-(
Yes I'm in a foul mood this morning! :-) If I hear any more words about drought
on the TV or radio I'll throw a brick at it.

My sentiments as well Will :-)

110% of 1970-2000 average and todays rain hasn't arrived yet ;-)

Cheer up Will the sun will be out later this afternoon, at least, in
between heavy showers!

11.0mm so far from this event - current rate 3.2mm/hr
78.2mm so far this month (115% eLTA)...standing water now on the back
lawn.

Hmmm maybe. This is warm sector and it is raining at 3-6 mm/h, well this is
Dartmoor after all I suppose!
Now (1140) 15.5 mm for event and rate 3.3 mm/h. Temp 10.4 deg C.
At least we rarely get standing water here as the soil is well drained and on a
slope so it just runs away once saturated.
Occasionally in really heavy rain, it will pool on the drive.
What's depressing me is that it is so gloomy, lights are on in my study, it
might as well be the middle of December rather than the end of May :-(

May is normally our driest month at just 86 mm.

Yes, people in the south should stop moaning and just have to accept
that they will have to pay more if the want to secure supplies of this
valuable resource. I'm looking forward to when they build the national
water grid. My water company will sell the stuff down south, thus
reducing my water bills

A wretched weekend so far and today looks like being another washout.

Pretty cold last night though, a min of just 2.8C.

Hmmmm bit optimistic there Col (yes I saw the smiley!). Here in the SW we have
the most expensive water in the country (England) yet the bloomin stuff comes
out of the sky in torrents. Seems as far as water is concerned the laws of
economics don't apply. To my mind the SE should have the most expensive water as
it is a rarer commodity there. Yes I know we are paying for infrastrusture,
sewerage and ensuring that the beaches are clean for holidaymakers in the
summer, but on this horrendous rainy day in May I will have paid the equivalent
of a pint of beer water rate for the privilege of watching it fall out of the
sky.

1230 and now 17.3 mm for the event and still heaving down at 3.3 mm / hour.
Bar 991.8 hPa and falling quickly. Wind strengthening from the SSE.

Well I did say I was in a bad mood :-)

Sun now shining in west Cornwall after a very miserable start, so hopefully
it will head your way, Will.

Thanks MCC I'll look forward to that.

Will hold onto that brick. Apparently a brick placed carefully in your
toilet cistern will mean less water used when flushing, thus alleviating the
wastage of water during this awful drought.

Been fairly sunny in the far SW since 10:00 - Typically sunny cyclonic
conditions once the front cleared. Beaches in St Ives which face away
from the fresh SSW wind are quite busy. High tide so good for swimming
(in a wetsuit!) in the harbours. Lunch in T Shirt & Shorts outside the
Porthminster Beach Restaurant. I might get around to uploading a few
jpegs later.

Still, you don't live on Dartmoor unless you enjoy mist & rain.

Graham, I don't mind mist and rain, but not in May when it is supposed to be our
driest month.
Still we had a minutes burst of sunshine a few minutes ago at 1500 and the rain
has stopped after 17.8 mm but it's still OVC and the shower clouds are building.
Temp. now rocketed up to 11.0 degC.
