Interesting evening last night - was on duty 1900 onwards. Saw the
radar echoes but noted that whilst it was mighty close, just west of
Blandford might escape but have a grandstand view instead. And so it
was. But a colleague was absolutely certain we would get a good
dowsing of rain so it was worth a bet-and very luckily I won it (this
time).
It was a bit disappointing though- I was thinking of the Martinstown
event and wondering...
In the morning a few rumbles etc produced 7mm and this was short lived
(though recorded a rate just below 90mm per hour). The next line
rather gave up the ghostI think and we had a little rain at lunchtime,
Better 'luck' next Thursday then!
