A cloudy 24 hours. Intermittent slight rain started around 1500z on Wednesday, becoming persistent by 1800z, and moderate occasionally heavy from 1930z to 0700z, before becoming light again and eventually ceasing not long after 0800z. Event total 30mm exactly. Again it was the persistence of moderate rainfall that clocked up the total, rather than any prolonged heavy rain. Maximum rainfall rate briefly touched 7 mm/hr around 2330z, but the rate was mainly around 3 mm/hr. This site has been recording for a week now, and already ther has been 87.4 mm. No sign of effects from (what appears to me to be) the copious amount of rain. The Rhondda river has barely risen overnight. Currently cloudy but dry, with skies looking brighter to the south.

14/0900z to 15/0900z:
Max: 9.6 (1306z)
Min: 6.9 (0223z)
Rain: 30.0 mm
