[Mapantz]

Had some heavy rain this morning, currently 13℃ and overcast.

I don't know why they bother with the MO app, you couldn't plan anything by it, especially if it is rain coming in. It says heavy rain until 3pm here, it stopped raining an hour ago and there's no more to come. Only 5 hours out!

[Summer of 95]

Faded to light drizzle, but still 100% overcast and quite muggy despite only being 13C.

A day which was mostlky cloudy with the odd spot of rain. Late afternoon light rain started and the radar shows brighter echoes just to the west of us so it may become heavy.
