The Sting in the Tail!
Some heavy rain this morning which cleared East as predicted. The forecast this morning predicted something of a 'curl back' into the SE this evening but at the moment there is persistent moderate/heavyrain here, long after it was supposed to have cleared. Even the local forecast, just an hour ago mentioned nothing more than a decaying band of light rain/drizzle coming South. Just goes to show how difficult rainfall forecasting is, even at the range of a few hours! -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl |

Tonight's forecast for here said "moving out in to the North Sea this evening, perhaps leaving some patchy drizzle in the S.E" . I'll hae to see if there's been an update. Dave |

When the belt of rain was showing up over the west of the UK, Dan Corbett likened the shape to a boomerang, so I also expected it to come back. -- Graham P Davis Bracknell, Berks., UK Send e-mails to "newsman" as mails to "newsboy" are ignored. |
