A DOLLOP of rain has left Suffolk soaking - but forecasters today promised the inclement weather won't hang around for long.
A DOLLOP of rain has left Suffolk soaking - but forecasters today promised the inclement weather won't hang around for long.
After a bone-dry summer, the county was given a drenching today as dark clouds hovered ominously above.
But don't dig out your rain Mac just yet - meteorological experts are predicting a swift return to less soggy conditions.
An anti-cyclone should reach the UK by Friday, bringing with it sunshine and mild highs of 65F/18C - about the average for this time of year.
Showers have fallen sporadically - the first spell of prolonged rain in weeks.
Prior to that, only 0.48 of an inch of rain hit Suffolk in the first half of September - around half of the average figure for this time of year.
Meanwhile, the same amount fell during the whole of August - just a quarter of the total expected for the month.
