Easing off? It's not even raining at all in plympton?!

It's literally just stopped here in Stoke within the last five minutes.

Wish they would stop smearing vaseline on the webcam. It's blocking the view of sunshine.

Am on the coast about 25 mins from Exeter. Rain and easing off and can see the brighter weather coming in off the sea. Can actually see all down the coast for the first time in hours. It's been raining for 24h pretty much so hope we've taken the brunt of it on behalf of the team!

Must be brightening up I can see a rainbow near the Pyramid!

North Devon and it's gone from rain first thing to spitting this morning. Completely dried up about 15 minutes ago and you can feel the heat of the sun through the thin cloud.

Here we go!!

I'm in Yeovil about 20 miles south of the site, it's down to the odd drop rain and starting to brighten up nicely. I'll be on site from tomorrow morning so I'll see what I can about proper updates on the ground state.

I think that's steam from the evaporating ground water.

And we've made it! On the state of the ground thread a couple of workers have confirmed that the rain has officially stopped on site. 

Right, wet stuff out of the way - now bring the drying out...

I'm from Paignton but camped next to Pedestrian gate b.

still raining this side but warming up 

[Andeeroo]

Pics of the site don't look particularly worse than anything I've seen since I've been going. Definitely no need to panic buy some wellies. As long as there are no further prolonged spells of rain, all should be golden.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yup - now we play the waiting game.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Waiting game sucks.  Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos!
