11.7C at 1840. What gets me is that we seem to get all the rain with none of the excitement of thunder. It's quite a while now since we had thunder here in Haytor. Stopped raining here for the last hour, and the sun even made an appearance but it is getting darker now and the clouds are gathering to the south. Yep, no fog here in the valley but there is mist/cloud around on the hills to the east (Fire Beacon), north (Blackdown Hills) and west (Daisymount). No thunder here at all for this July so far. ________________ Nick. Otter Valley, Devon 83 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |

Very misty over the Haldon Hills this afternoon and awful conditions driving down the M5 and A380. Now pouring down (started 10 mins ago at 19:10) and has gone very dark. The A30 was covered in surface water and spray this afternoon whilst driving home. The windscreen wipers were on fast but still couldn't clear the rain, had to drive very slowly for a while. Despite all the damp/cool/humid weather there has been no blight so far this year. Unlike 2007 & 08. In 2007 the blight was very bad and was the first time it had occurred down on the allotment (according to the locals) in well over 15 years. In fact, I couldn't find anybody who could remember the last time blight had occurred on the tomatoes and potatoes. Last year the blight was only very mild and didn't really affect the potatoes, and just caused minor damage to the tomatoes. Everything growing amazingly well under these conditions. Even the chillies and toms are bearing fruit. The turnips, runners and courgettes/marrows are the best I've known for many a year. And the spuds are good too. ________________ Nick.

This is Britain not Spain. Will -- |
