[The PIT]

Went to the coast and it doesn't look like I missed much.

Max Temp 20.4C

Wind f3 SSW

Rainfall 2.4mm

So a better day than forecast although when I left the forecast was already shifting stuff further North away from Sheffield anyway.

[Richard2901]

Yet another ridiculously poor day. Very cool and wet with light levels typical of 3pm on a cloudy December day until 2pm when the rain let up but the depressing damp grey muck remained until now when some brightness has filtered through but not a lot.

Currently at the max for the day of 16.9C though most of the day has been no higher than 14C. 10.2mm of rain today with 29.4mm in the past 4 days meaning we have now surpassed our monthly average. The misery just goes on and on and on.........
