Shall I break the mould of the day?

It's not been a dry day here! There has been slight drizzle on and off and even a sharp shower around 10.30!

There must have been a weak front move through this region in the mid morning time as the radar shows a narrow showery line

that headed W-E between 09.00-11.00!

10.9c at present and slowly brightening.
