Well I guess it's my turn now :-)

Continuous heavy rain for over an hour now and still absolutely bucketing down.
Accompanied by fog of course.

Nothing unusual for this part of the world but it's not doing my new trade in
ice creams and sun shades much good :-)

Amazingly still dry here, Will, with the showers remaining just to the west
of me all day. Things look more threatening now to the south, though.

Hi Jon, yep you should be getting the rain within the next hour or two.

Rain massing just off the south coast according to the 2000 radar.
Sadly also a lot more rain near Aberfeldy on that image as well :-(

Still heaving down here, but at least the wind has dropped right out. For a
while earlier it was force 6 easterly, which I cannot understand. One of my
patio plants even got blown over due to funneling effects.

Yep, actually noticed a few drops just after my post. Certainly some
colourful echoes over your way, I'd imagine the 2km data from the Cobbacombe
radar is a sight to behold.

Dave. pam is missing e-mail

LOL, nice one Geoff.

I could even use the forecasts to stock up appropriately, then again, maybe not
:-)

Reminds me of those joke postcards one sees.

Dartmoor in winter - picture of heavy driving sleet.
Dartmoor in Spring - picture of heavy showers
Dartmoor in summer - picture of heavy vertical rain, but ponies are wearing
shades
Dartmoor in Autumn - blank due to fog

How about installing a rotating shop front .... Ice cream and sunshades on
one side, brollies and souwesters on the other. Rotate according to weather!
Maybe even configured to show the appropriate shop front, bit like the old
couple there always used to be on a cuckoo clock!

Cheers for advice Dave :-)
