It will come to an end next week (at long last!).
In Raunds you can expect some rain from a cold front on Wednesday and then
with low pressure sitting to west of Britain, further showery outbreaks
after that.
Not a wet spell by any means but confident signs now for a return to more
rainy changeable conditions, most rain still in the west though.

Not so far to your north east (Moulton Seas End), 53.5mm in the same
period. Ground very dry and dusty at the moment - potato harvest is
the driest and least muddy I've ever seen.

Thanks for that Will.
Getting fed up watering the garden nightly.
*anything* interesting weatherwise will be welcome.
With the odd blip the last 11 weeks have been uniformly boring.

Fields very dry here too Paul.
On the odd occasion it has been breezy lots of dust blowing off the
fields.

I agree Ian *anything* , it's still drizzling outside and I'm even getting
excited about that, our most common non-dry weather on Dartmoor!

Says a lot when you are exicited about a spot of drizzle
A little sunshine and a change in wind direction has caused
much excitment here. I'm finding little to record in my weather
log other than "more of the same"
