Default [WR] Otter Valley, Devon - 21st July

Light rain/drizzle in the early hours got itself organised into some heavier
stuff at around 5am which lasted until about 11am, then drizzle returned
with a vengeance and lasted most of the afternoon. We had the light sort of
non-wetting drizzle, then rapidly followed by the horizontal, heavy stuff
that wets you from the side in seconds to the meandering medium type of
drizzle which doesn't know what it wants to do.

Despite all this wet stuff, 'only' 17.6 mm of it fell onto what is now
thoroughly saturated ground. Everything is damp, sopping or just soggy. No
sign of any blight yet.

The sun is out now and pushing the temperature up to the dizzy height of
17.6°C, the warmest it has been all day.

I don't think it can actually get any worse than this, surely it can only
get better.....

(18:40), 17.6°C, RH 87%, DP 15.3°C, 1002 hPa (S), Wind 6 mph SSE.
