Doesn't look we'll have rain today (thats the kiss of death!), so my
August rainfall is 9.8mm, 22% the 1971-2000 average.

According to my Maplin weather station, we have currently received 147.6mm
in Carmarthenshire, and as we are currently in a middle of a thunderstorm, I
wouldn't be surprised if we topped 150mm by midnight.

While the amount of rain may not be excessive, I was checking my records,
and found that the last time we had a spell of more than three dry days in a
row was back in the second half of June - obviously not good news for
farmers.

I wish I had a sunshine recorder as I get the feeling that this has been the
dullest summer for years here. I can recall only one day of wall-to-wall
sunshine since June, and many days (including the last two) of no sunshine
at all.
