Very mild with T +11.0C D +11.0C.
Last of my snow piles has now gone.
Horizontal lashing rain and drizzle.
Wind WSW F5 at home but F7 on the exposed moor.

1630
A strong wind gust (31 knots on 3m high anemo, but certainly more than
that round the house where funnelled) has just destroyed a mature
Camellia. Snapped it clean off at the base. I feel quite tearful as I was
very fond of that bush.
Can't curse the wind though, it's just nature!
Rain is still lashing down and still very mild T +10.7C.


1650
35mm rain since midnight at Postbridge (369m asl) now gusting 40 knots up
there too. Goodness knows what it is like on the exposed moor higher up.
PS just discovered a small live camellia shoot coming out of the stump. That
has been growing since the bush was mishaped (flattened) in the Dec 2010
snows. It will now become the main bush in time, hopefully. Nature always
finds a way!

As with the mild spell in December, the rain has only been patchy and
light here. The sun even managed a brief appearance today though it
seems the sunshine recorder was asleep for that.

Rain has fallen everyday for the last 8 days, but most of it only small
amounts.

22nd 15.5 mm
23rd 17.9 mm
24th 1.7 mm
25th 3.4 mm
26th 7.7 mm
27th 6.3 mm
28th 2.4 mm
29th 2.7 mm.

Monthly mean temperature now back up to my estimated LTA at 6.0°C. Max
today = 13.4°C.

A dry (so far), mild and windy evening.

(19:31), 12.6°C, RH 95%, DP 11.8°C, 1003 hPa (S), Wind 22 mph SSW.
