Well after 22.2mm of rain for the 24 hours ending 09:00 on 30th (very
similar totals over the far SW e.g 21mm at Camborne for 24 hours to
18:00 yesterday), a cloudy day followed with a few spots of rain now &
again.

Last night was seriously wet, with another 33.1mm by 09:00 this
morning, the large part of which fell (certainly 25mm) in 4 hours
from 22:00 yesterday. Now the next wave on the front is bringing more
very heavy rain. It will be interesting to see what the 3 day total
turns out to be.

Luckily the period from 10th-27th saw just 4.8mm, so the rivers were
low & the ground very dry prior to the deluge.

Fronts clearing to the east now - www.nci-stives.org/basiccamera.htm -
and much improved visibility. Not much more more rain this morning,
certainly far less than I expected, the heavy stuff seem to pass just
to the east.

Some good surf coming up, generally 4-6' forecast for the next few
days. So when the wind drops out, Sunday & Monday hopefully (

be some great conditions on the north coast.

Dartmoor must be awash, from the look of the present rainfall radar.
The whole moor is pink! It's been raining here in Dawlish since 10.30.
Only light stuff, but if that lot crosses the moor and retains its
intensity, we're in for some heavy rain this afternoon.
