That'll take it well over 50mm here, for the month to date. Enough! I
say *squelch*.

50mm, is that all - drizzle :-)

Try telling that to the silly soggy Dove that's nesting on my back
garden floodlight on a high-up corner, exposed to the West!

It's been p***ing it down here in Southamptonland for 12 hours now,
light to moderate but continuous. Over half an inch of it so far at a
guess (had a quick glance at the rain guage but I wasn't staying out
there to measure it!). From the radar, Nigel in Romsey should have had
more than me.

I daren't think how much has fallen on Dartmoor today. I've had 11mm so
far which doesn't sound much but that's 32 mm this week, *which is a lot
for here!

43.4mm here in Haytor, so far ...
Higher up there has been circa 69mm near Postbridge at 360m asl.
I estimate 90mm on the most exposed Tors.http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Hayt...o.uk/index.php

and it's still heaving down at 3.3 mm/h here.

Circa 170mm in the month so far.

Will

50.8mm in Penzance in 24 hours ending 18:00 today.
That's the largest 24 hour total since 78.9mm on 26/6/06
90.4mm so far this month.

Still, with a bit of a swell, only moderate SW winds, 18-19C, SST
15-16C and some sunshine, might be pretty good for a bit of
bodyboarding this weekend.

Rained all day here. Ever so wet. A clearance should be here within
the hour. Thank goodness.

I've just returned from a day in the great outdoors and I can
confidently report that it was wet. Another burst of mod to
heavy rain as I type, so the totals listed below for Romsey
are rapidly becoming out of date.

Last 12 hours (09/0900-09/2100Z)... 26.5mm
Last 24 hours (08/2100-09/2100Z)... 38.2mm
Month to date.................................... 66.1mm

As I suspected, a bit wetter up your way on Wednesday. The final
totals for the day here we

Last 24 hours (00Z to 00Z): 31.1 mm
Month to date: 72.2 mm (because of the 28.6mm on the 7th).

Two days like this so close together are very unusual here - I think I
can safely say the rain wasn't over-hyped for here! And that poor
nesting dove on the back wall now has rain dripping off its tail. It
is still raining!
