66.8 mm of rain has now fallen here over the last 4 days, but after the very
dry July, this has all been easily absorbed into the ground.

We've missed the heavy rains and the dry hinterland of south-east Devon
continues.

A total of 6.1 mm has fallen over the last five days:

1st = 0.0 mm
2nd = 0.4 mm
3rd = 1.1 mm
4th = 0.8 mm
5th = 3.8 mm

Not enough to even counter loss through evaporation and with the sunny
and dry July, the soil moisture deficit must now be huge here in the
lower Otter Valley.
