    Don't use your garden hose to water the lawn.:D

    :D They make a mockery of water preservation with that ad right now. Not raining but it could any time.

    Showers missing here until now, just had a brief sharp one with a rain rate of 28mm/hr, only 0.5mm so far today with mostly overcast conditions, about 7 octas coverage.

    Charts dont really look promising for the forseeable future, not that i mind tbh.

    Rain has been non stop here 20 miles or so to your south.
    9.7mm now since it started at 8am and it's still coming down at a rate of 4.3mm/hr.

    You can see the slow Godforsaken thing on the radar.
    On the satelite image,you can probably if you use a microscope see me with a paddle waving angrily at the sky...thats if you could see through the clouds.
    The sky is leaden here all morning-no sign of blue and the hills are under unviewable.

    It's clouding over here now too in dublin city center. Maybe that rain is figuring we've had it too good for the morning and is fixing to rectify things...

    Never a drop of rain or even much cloud all day, was fully expecting a rash of afternoon showers. Hopefully more tomorrow so I can finish of the hedges.
