[matt111]

Sunny and warm earlier but now with a fairly strong breeze it’s quite a bit cooler although still feels warm when sheltered. 17.4°C. 

[Dorsetbred]

Tad breezy here, although warming nicely in the sun now @ 20.3C., pleasant. Question is when is it going to rain the grass is brown and not green!

[Lyn-M]

Just having a very light sprinkling of the wet stuff, probably won't get to the bottom of the gauge.

[CheesepuffScott]

Sun was out all morning and early afternoon, clouded over now, still pleasant

dark clouds about.has been raining on and off most of the afternoon.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Had a little shower early this morning. Now Cloudy. 15.6c. Humidity 72% rh.

997.0 hPa. breeze S. Westerly 9 mph

Got sweatshirt back on. My arms were cold. 

[CheesepuffScott]

Cloudy, cooler, bit breezy this morning.

[Leon1]

I can't believe there were people on the MAD thread saying bring on westerlies and now they complain about every run that comes out!

Still though, looks much drier down south for all of us.

[matt111]

Cloudy and feeling cool with a hint of drizzle in the air. 14.6°C. 

[Dorsetbred]

A spell of dribble earlier has left us and the plants still very dry. Good breeze for the kite surfers, so they are out in the harbour making the most of that.

 

[MP-R]

Been much brighter than expected with sunny intervals. First shower moving through now though, albeit light.

[Leon1]

Almost sunny now.

[Leon1]

Now very heavy rain  

[Dorsetbred]

Some interesting rainfall heading towards Chippenham, right now..

[ThundersnowDays]

Sharp shower here which had strong gusts in it. Only short though and now it's fine again. 

[matt111]

Still dry here apart from a very brief shower earlier which wouldn’t have even measured any rainfall from. Doesn’t look like anymore here today so still only 0.4mm this month. 

[Lyn-M]

Gauge still bone dry.  A boringly grey day, chilly morning and only warming up in brief spells of sunshine mid afternoon.  Hoping for better tomorrow.

[Andy Bown]

A 5 minute downpour yesterday afternoon and a surprise spell of quite heavy rain this morning to boost June's total here.

[dec10snow]

Looks like we finally got a bit of rain last night that wasn’t just drizzle that’s hardly enough to dampen the ground! Could do with a bit more today.... if we’re going to have such a dull cloudy day at least give us a bit of rain!

[Lyn-M]

The tiniest little drip in the gauge this morning, not measurable.  Currently feeling dampness in the air but that's about it.  Otherwise, simply grey and blowy.

[mike5900]

0.2mm of rain  today.  only 2.2 mm this month so far.

Similar number here with only 2.3mm this month.

[CheesepuffScott]

Cloudy, light breeze, feeling quite fresh.

[matt111]

Cloudy all day and now with drizzle. Still won’t add to the 0.4mm this month. 

[matt111]

Even though yesterday was supposed to be the worst day of the weekend, it’s actually been worse today with drizzle for most of the afternoon and not a hint of brightness. Yesterday there was only a brief light shower and the sun was out some of the time.
