Torrential rain woke us several times between 01.00-04.00 but my gauge has 9mm in whereas just the other side of Salisbury Plain had 3 times as much according to the Net Weather accumulation facility!

Checking outside just after 06.00 revealed starry skies and the day so far has been mostly sunny with a few short heavy showers blowing through quickly from the SSW on an increasingly gusty wind.

Pleasantly warm feeling at 13.3c with humidity 92%.
