I was surprised this morning to hear the R4 forecaster give a story of
all of England and Wales having a wet day with the rain heavy in
places. Here in Margate it has been dry with even a few sunny
intervals and very mild at around 14 degs. Whilst there is a broad
frontal zone I suspect that the model was giving its' usual 'spotty
high' over the south and the forecaster was taking it literally.
Still, a poor forecast for anybody who cancelled any outdoor event.

Much the same here in the far SW, only 0.2mm since 09:00 yesterday.
Very mirky over the hills, but bright, dry with glimpses of the sun
near sea level.
