Been working on a project in the garden this week despite the weather.
Problem is with all the rain we have been getting this month it is a bit
chancy to use power tools outside, not really keen on electric shocks!
The method I use is to install Meteox,
http://www.meteox.com/gmap.aspx
into Google Earth, this updates every 15 mains, refresh google if need be.
This way I can check and see the rain that is heading my way and work
around it when I want to use power.

Ta - looks like this could be v helpful. Have just had the day from hell
when - late pm - "light showers" according to the BBC weather forecast
(which yesterday were indeed that) turned into a tropical downpour. Bang
went my newly-glossed exterior woodwork and masonry-painted surrounding
wall. Never mind - only took me two hours to hose all the dilute paint off
the conservatory glass roof below.

I use Met Office 'Rainfall Radar', not quite so timely but does the
job and the rainfall animation is handy:
