Its going to be interesting to see what your figures are for Today
Its lashing down in waves of solid water here.
I would be amazed if the poor machine could empty fast enough !!!!!

Looking at the rainfall radar, I think we've seen the worst today (oh
no. I've done it again).

The web cam sequence shows the recent clearance quite dramatically and
if you look at the 'Current weather...' link you can see a great burst
of rain just before the clearance.

uncovering a blocked drain and they struck water at about 450mm down
so the water table couldn't have sunk very far. However, I suspect
that the depth of the water table here is heavily influenced by the
depth of the bed rock, in our case about 600mm.

We are raised beach -- free draining sandy loam -- nearly pure sand in
places
We have lying water patches all over the fields again :~(
The spring fed ponds we have all over had only dropped a couple of inches in
the drier spell. The water was locked in the soil by the frost.
We need some weeks of dry to make a difference


In the last half hour, for the first time since Monday evening, we can
now see more than about 2km and the cloud base has lifted to more than
700 metres. No snow visible.

There is more coming in :~))
Glensanda is not visible
