Light but persistant drizzle has been falling for the last hour in
Brampton North Cumbria - 0.4mm since midnight. But rainfall radar
gives the impression of no rainfall - not the first time this has
happened. I wonder if they could build a new radar closer to Cumbria
to assist ?


Current Temp is 13c, Humidity 97%
Winds SW at 9knots
Pressure 1014mb

What just for you? Perhaps if you offered to pay for it.....

Seriously, I think the reason the drizzle is not detected/shown is to
do with raindrop size.

But I might be wrong. Anyone?
