What atrocious weather here this morning. Methinks the weather has
forgotten it is May and thinks it is January. Cold, wet and nasty.

The wind is doing a good job of defoliating the silver maple tree and all
the leaves are ending up in the pond.

Wind frequently gusting to over 30 mph and it is lashing it down.
Horizontal heavy rain with drizzle mixed in just for that extra wetting
effect.

It's must be making it rather unpleasant for the organisers at the
Dartmouth Music Festival which this time last year was bathed in glorious
sunshine for the whole weekend.

(11:45), 9.8°C, RH 90%, DP 8.4°C, 1001 hPa (S), Wind 17 mph SSE.

Hi Nick, fun isn't it :-)

Cold here at Haytor this morning with continuous heavy driving rain and a
temperature between 7 and 8C. Having said that only 13mm rainfall so far
today.

Now at 1400 the sun is breaking through and the ground is drying and the
temperature has shot up to 10.7C.

I don't think it is like January though as it is not cold enough, more like
November or December.
