I received a weather picture from The NOAA 19 weather satellite a couple of hours after the rain. Plenty of cloud cover!

The actual signal shows on the right hand side of the screen grab. On the left are the two pictures as they are transmitted, visible light on the left and IR picture on the right. These are then combined in software and false colour added to give a final picture:

I am receiving clearer signals now the weather satellite aerial in mounted on top of my mast.

At one stage during the downpour I noticed the flooding in the garden was getting too close to the robot mower ...
... so it was on with the wellies and out for a quick paddle. Fortunately the water hadn't reached the batteries or circuits. As the ground is nowhere as saturated as it was a couple of months ago the flooding is already subsiding.
