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.

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


50mm, is that all - drizzle :-)

----------------------
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.

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

Circa 170mm in the month so far.

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.
