I don't know about anyone else, but I rely on the weather forecast. When the Dover area forecast, from the Met Office showed heavy rain, in two of the three hour periods overnight, I took defensive action. I didn't run my black lights and the other two were put in their sheltered on therefore less productive positions. I was a bit surprised to find that it hadn't rained at all overnight. I must admit that it is unusual for the forecast to be so wrong, but it certainly was way out last night. I hope they're not wrong tonight as all the traps are out.
