Some parts of Wales have had a good soaking recently.
At RAF Valley on Anglesey 57.6mm of rain was recorded in the 24 hours - more than half the October average (101.4mm).
It's also the wettest 24 hour period at the RAF Valley weather station since official records began in 1941!
The trough of low pressure that brought the recent downpours is now moving away, pressure is rising and that means a much drier weekend in prospect.
Take a look at the Met Office Synoptic charts for the weekend.
Mind you, it may not stay dry everywhere. On Sunday a cold front may bring a little rain and drizzle to parts of the north and northwest, Anglesey and Gwynedd.
Most of the rain will be on the hills and mountains in Snowdonia facing the south-westerly breeze so the waterproofs may come in handy if you’re going walking.
If you're taking part or watching the Cardiff half marathon on Sunday, conditions should be ideal; dry with light winds and a little sunshine.
The temperature at the start of the race will be around 13 Celsius rising to 17 Celsius in the afternoon with a light breeze.
Next week, more dry is expected with only small amounts of rain. A few mist and fog patches are possible and it will feel mild although later in the week it may turn clearer and cooler with lower temperatures at night.
