Well, according to http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ ,
at 9:15, there are patches or 50mm/hr over south Devon,
and over the channel there is a 45 minute band of 5-10mm/hr
including a 15 minute band of 15-20mm/hr.


It's pouring here just south of Dartmoor and the wind is south west.
But a few minutes ago it was a deluge. I'm profoundly thankful that
we're on a considerable slope and surrounded by fields! I gather
there's a yellow weather warning out for Dorset so I hope anyone living
there doesn't suffer horrible flooding experiences.


Well, the 10 mm I hoped for was wildly optimistic. We had only 1.5 mm
today. It started around 9 and stopped around 10. That makes a grand
total of 5.5 mm in 10 weeks. I hope that we get a decent amount tonight.
