Squeezing out just 0.1mm of rain from the gauge this
morning suggests that we missed out on the action in
the past 24 hours. CBs were quite prominent in all
directions for several hours yesterday but with only
one glancing blow, the rain merely dampening the
ground. Wind noticeably increasing over the last
15 minutes but not yet up to yesterdays force 6.
