Continuous moderate to heavy horizontal drizzle today above 400m on southern
moor. Visibility circa 100 metres. Bit better lower down with sun shining
through stratus but still with drizzle, sheep were wearing their summer
shades. Temperatures a rather humid 17C. Upland moorland catchments look as
they normally do in November, i.e. wet with water coming over the top of
your boots at times. I hope they freeze in the winter else walking up there
will be like swimming :-)

Wind-driven drizzle over Haldon and Little Haldon, both times we
crossed on the way to mid morning) and from (early afternoon) shopping
in Exeter. Down towards sea level, in Exeter and in Dawlish it has
been mainly fine and much less windy. The washing hasn't dried though.
One sailor's patch of blue sky in Exeter did not grow to be enough to
make a pair of sailor's trousers. For once that piece of weather lore
didn't come true. Mind you; I suppose it could have been brilliant
sunshine on the Exe this afternoon!
