Remarks
-------
The 3rd consecutive very wet and very dull month. Despite that it was a little
warmer than average but with an exceptionally cold morning (for August) on the
last day of the month. 32.4 mm of rain fell in just under 7.5 hours starting at
0700z on the 29th but as this spanned two "rainfall days" it doesn't appear on
the standard statistics.
