Maximum temperature today 12C, minimum 6C (we had -2C yesterday). 11mm rain measured this morning; 29km/h South-westerly winds 15 km/h with gusts up to 39 km/h.
Total rain so far this year of 987mm. Last years total rain for the year was 739 mm! We will miss the next two weeks of rainfall but I am sure it is going to be well over 1000mm for this year.
