Wet And Windy

It rained for most of the day although we did have a brief spell in the middle of the afternoon when the rain stopped and the sun tried to make an appearance but the cloud and rain won out in the end as it remained showery for the rest of the day. By midnight the rainfall total was 25.2mm the wettest August day I’ve recorded and a couple of gusts of wind had hit 21 mph also the highest I've recorded in August.

My updated table of the top twenty wettest days I’ve recorded now looks like this:

It does show that most of our wettest days come with summer storms as the top ten wettest days are mostly summer months.

Here’s a grass cutting challenge on the plot once the the weather brightens up a bit.
