Nothing in the rain gauge! Now that hasn't happened since the 4th of Jan. So
far this Jan rain has fallen on 20 out of the 23 days to date bringing the total to 103.2 mm. Sunshine total now up to a miserly 30 hours. Mean temperatures for the last 7 days (17th - 23rd): Min: 7.3C Max: 12.7C Mean: 10.0C No wonder the spring flowers are starting to bloom! ________________ Nick G Otter Valley, Devon 83 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |

There was a few spots in the air late this afternoon but I doubt it would've been enough to register. Around 11°C here. Looking forward to the return of the golden globe tomorrow and lower dew points. Jon. (east Devon) |

Light rain and drizzle all day up here Nick. Monthly total now 224.9mm (high but
not exceptional for January). Rained/sleet/snowed every single day bar one. Max. a very mild 9.8C. Highest max. this year still 11.6C. We have primroses out but that's all, soil is far too cold yet, being mid-winter. Coldest time of the year is ahead still for Dartmoor. Spring can wait till April, there's no rush.

Boy, you guys (blokes) along the south coast of England are really
trying to ensure that your reputation for rain and overcast skies is more than a stereotype :-) Well, to be honest Bob it is winter and it has been cloudier and a bit wetter than normal (average Jan rainfall is 83 mm for here). January 2007 brought a more normal 64 hours of bright sunshine but this month has been very dull indeed. The rainfall for the here is concentrated in the winter months and the late spring and summers are often fairly dry with long spells where no rain falls at all (last July being an exception), the driest months of the year being June, July & August. There is a rainfall deficit in most summers and hence, the grass turns brown! But this has its advantages as it stops growing bringing an end to the incessant mowings of spring. I've spent some time in Lisbon, Portugal and their winters can bring a whole new meaning to rainfall, especially in January when everything is soaked and it can rain torrentially for days on end causing all the manhole covers to lift and roads to flood throughout the city. Our rain in comparison is nothing more than a spot of drizzle. Ironically, the Portuguese still think it doesn't rain much in their country and it rains all the time here (much to their constant amusement). When I tell them that Lisbon gets over twice the annual rainfall of many of the drier parts of South East of England they don't believe me. And everytime is starts raining in Portugal the locals say it must make me feel at home. ________________ Nick G Otter Valley, Devon 83 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |
