The rain arrives at last! 22mm so far today

In contrast, I note a lot of independent weather stations in inland Kent recording 26C, 27C or even 28C right now (see Wunderground). A real localised heatwave! Shame no official stations in the area.

Much the same at the coast, Mrs said it started raining mid morning, and it hasn't stopped all day. Still raining quite hard. To be fair we need the rain.

First day I have used my waterproofs to keep dry riding to and from station in 2 months.
