Scruffy bit, new entry in the Oxford dictionary of astronomy then

Good catch, all clouds and rain here.

What Sun? Fleeting glimpses do not make a happy imager.
Not unless you have a water cooled telescope!
I just carried 5 gallons of rainwater out of my interior collection trays.
Had I known the problem in advance I could have sloped the base ring outwards.

Now then - water cooling for solar observing seems a good idea! You think you've a problem - come to East Scotland!🤣
