So much for the better day today! There's been more rain than yesterday in this location!

A succession of showers streaming in off the Bristol Channel in a line that has changed from moving NNW-SSE to now almost a straight W-E! The only positive being that I've seen my first wintry precipitation of the season with some wet snowflakes mixed into the heavy rain.

5.0c with the max so far 5.5c and a blustery WNW wind.
11 May = the 1st completely dry day for 25 days!!
