[ WARNING! This post contains language likely to offend those of a
sensitive nature; in particular, there is one mention of a county
located in the S**** W*** of Eng****. If you are easily upset, please
look away now ]






.... (1100Z/12 midday). First strong shafts of sunshine appearing here
in east Dorset - rain ceased ~1040Z. Period of moderate, ocnl heavy,
rainfall between 0730 & 0815Z contributed 7.1 mm up to 09Z, with less
than 1 mm since then.

We have survived - boy scout just bicycled past sounding the all
clear!

.... long way off, and I don't believe the detail of any model at that
range, but the broad idea of a cyclonic surface circulation, forward
of the axis of a broad upper trough, and SSW flow would make me take
an umbrella just in case.

Agreed. If it turns out to be sunny I can always use the brolly to
protect my eyes from the setting sun!!!

.... just had a look at the programme:-

http://www.heritageconcerts.co.uk/upton.html

I wonder if the last item of the first half will be appropriate :-)

On a weather note, I've only been in this part of the world for just
over a year, so don't consider myself a local expert. However, I have
noticed just how much influence a comparatively low range of hills
(South Dorset Downs / the Purbecks) has on the weather hereabouts:
they seem to modify the conditions *markedly* downwind, so with any
direction (of wind) from between S & WSW, things don't necessarily
turn out as you'd expect! They're hardly mountains - from a quick look
at the map, generally 150 m elevation, with spots above 180 m.

Martin.

I hope not. The fireworks display at the end of the show are excellent
though.

From my bedroom window the Purbecks seem to form a distant wall to the
SW of my house. There is a gap around Corfe Castle which must also
have some affect on local conditions.
