Sporadic light rain early this morning followed by moderate
rain and drizzle from 0900Z, became briefly heavy at 1015Z,
causing a drop in the visibility to 1500m.

Benefitting from the localised downpour at the start of May,
the lawn was only recently beginning to go brownish-yellow
in isolated pockets but these are greening up nicely now.
