Wednesday was an appalling day as the rain set in just after 8am and lasted for 14 hours. Obviously there was no sun and a depressed maximum of 17.7C, which was 3C below the August average.
Yet another mild night due to the blanket of cloud with a minimum of 14.3C, which was almost 3C above the 33-year average.
Overnight it did begin to dry up but just before 7am this morning the heavens opened again.
