Default Rain (sort of) Wanstead

Just a miserable 1.2mm here in east London. I was hoping for
significantly more - it has barely soaked the ground! With the
prospect of more dry weather into the next week it doesn't look as if
the hosepipe ban will be lifted anytime soon...

Seems I jumped the gun somewhat - more fell after posting giving 3.3mm
in total. With the sunshine this morning the ground is already looking
dry again!
