I was watching out for rain as I had important washing on the line drying. I had a few minutes of rain, heavier then a sprinkle - enough to see over a concrete path, yet no clouds showed for our area and my dry laundry had gotten wet! I would have taken the washing in if i had even seen potential clouds in the area according to the map, but the map showed clear skies. It was wrong.
