Blue sky in the picture does not represent an accurate reflection of the weekend. I emptied the rain gauge on Saturday at about 1400hrs. Quite a bit later than I normally do. Just shy of 50mm (the gauge was nearly full) over roughly thirty hours
I emptied again this morning nearly 40 mm between 1400 yesterday and 0900 today. It’ll need doing again in the morning. The day has seen brief periods of blue sky interrupted short, very intense showers.
Just a brief comment when I used the ferry for the return trip after yesterday’s delightful breakfast with my radio friends it was very noticeable that the ramps had positive slopes up to the ferry. I’ve known it to be level but don’t ever recall it being up. Very high tides.
Very high tides bring back unpleasant memories for me.
