    Well they have been streaming past the house all morning with their trollies and boards since I got up at 08:30, so some do not think so. They may of course feel that is was later in the day. Good to hear for a Monday though which is normally a quieter day even in the school holidays.

    Might have been a mirage but I'm sure I saw a brief [5-ish minutes?] shower yesterday late morning in north Swanage (Ullwell area).
    The air smelt fresh but moisture on the ground dried very quickly - so merely 'dampened the dust' it seems.
    Ground surfaces still making a good imitation of concrete!

    A bit of family-based publicity covering quite a wide range of locations in Dorset and possibly elsewhere.

    There was some light drizzle just after my wife had moved a table and al the cushions out into the garden for her and her friend. However everywhere still looks like the Serengeti in the dry season.
