We might have received only 0.1mm of precipitation so far
today but it made for a wet late morning outing with the dog
when it fell as drizzle, being driven on by a moderate to fresh
breeze. Drizzle started at 1040Z with a few moderate bursts.

Mostly dry during the rest of daylight hours but moderate rain
and drizzle set in at 1535Z, the drizzle element ceasing an hour
later. The rain became quite heavy between 1707Z and 1715Z.
A windy afternoon and early evening of beaufort 5 to 6, with
the highest gust of 39kt occurring at 1625Z. Up to this point
the wind and rain is entirely typical of our December weather,
therefore it's fairly interesting but nothing to get excited about.
