A few sunny intervals this afternoon, but now drizzly again this evening. Bit gusty last night but only a F5. Rainfall 22.6 mm (which is not a lot for these parts from a depression).. Max. temp 17.0C Vegetation sopping wet again and grass growing furiously :-( Will (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) -- Why do you only post on here when you consider you have more rainfall than anyone else? What is your problem with one-upmanship? Stuart ==== I tend to post when the weather is reasonably noteworthy, and living at altitude in the SW, that is either when it rains or snows. Sometimes when it is lovely and clear, hardly ever when it is warm, sunny or unusually dry, I'll leave that to others. "Bill" was a high interest system and I thought that meteorologists might be interested in what rainfall in the upland SW was. Was it the highest total in the SW? I haven't a clue, but I doubt it.. Will -- I think it's probably to do with extremes Stuart. I think everyone with an interest in weather takes a particular interest in extreme weather and dartmoor can get some really extreme weather. As it happens, ex-Bill produced no extreme weather whatsoever, which was a bit of a disappointment, though it still managed to generate almost an inch of rain on the edge of the moor. I think Will was probably just illustrating that. An inch of rain is a very wet day down here on the coast, but only 20-odd miles away on Dartmoor, he could probably host the teddy bears' picnic in an inch of rain and the hardy Dartmoor souls would hardly notice it was wetter than normal. You really do have to like rain to live up there. When it rains properly on the moor, it's like the whole world is underwater. I've been on Dartmoor on days when there has been 4+ inches of rain and it is quite an experience! Days best spent in the pub and in the car, watching and wondering that is possible for that amount of rain to fall; days not best spent walking!! We've considered living up on the moor, as it is a fantastic place in great weather; unmatched in Britain in many ways, but the consideration lasts about 30 seconds each time before I remember the cold and the rain........ |
