A Dry Day Would be Welcome


Tuesday was another wet and cool day. We didn't have that much rain just 3.4mm but it was damp all day with light rain on and off and not a hint of sunshine.

Apart from the first day of the month it’s rained every day so far.
As you can see from this picture clipped from my weather station screen at 07:33 on Wednesday morning the storm total is shown as 77.8mm. A spell of 24 hours without rain is required to reset the storm total to zero. So we've had the equivalent of almost two months rainfall this month without a dry 24 hour period.

If the forecast is correct it might not rain on Wednesday and Thursday which would be a welcome break in the dreadful weather.

The rainfall has caused some serious flooding around West Yorkshire especially around Hebden Bridge. Click on the news video to see the flash flooding at its worst.

  2. We've already had rain here today. They've had it really bad in Hebden Bridge just lately, it's so sad when you see the damage it can do.
