Instead, we've had rain, and just now, a colossal hailstorm, with hail approaching 10mm diameter. And thunder and lightning. Its about time the BBC went back to the Met office...
It's not as rainy as people would have you believe and up here in my lofty second floor home office I can see for miles into the south - when planes fly I can seem the take off and land at MIA.
It's very grey now though, but not as dark as it was earlier - I might be lucky yet.
