Its raining!! ☔

Meno

Clouds loomed overhead yesterday, much cooler. Sadly no rain ☔.
3pm Sun came out, blue skies and temperature went up but still not as hot as last week.

According to my mobile Today's Forecast is partial cloud with a chance of a shower midday.
0.01 inch!!

Nothing here just harvest dust and herds of wildebeest galloping majestically across the plain opposite my house.

It's pouring down in Glasgow. I'll swap some of your sunshine for our rain ?

We were out walking yesterday and it came over so dark and thundery I was sure we were going to get a soaking, but no. The clouds moved on and it didn’t actually rain anywhere here. The moorland streams are very low and some have dried up altogether. I have given up trying to get enough water to my garden - it will have to take its chances.

Still no rain here, but dark clouds (had to put light on) and thunder. Two miles up the road they had ten minutes heavy rain.
(Last time we had rain was when the village flooded about six weeks ago!)

West Midlands here, wishing for 'chucking it down'. Nothing watery for weeks and weeks. Gardens like deserts.

After six weeks in (dry, sunny, hot) California, DH & I flew into Manchester yesterday morning and it rained as we drove home is the taxi. Am I complaining? No!! I love the rain and I had missed it. We're so lucky in the NW because ("they say") the next major world shortage is predicted to be a shortage of water....

No Bluebelle SW Wales !

Bbevan are you East coast like me

We still have had NO rain here since end of May but the weather is so blooming fantastic to wake up to sun every day makes my heart sing

(The farms around here are harvesting like fury - the yield may be down a bit, but they’ll certainly save on the drying!)

Two days ago the forecast was for thunder storms in my bit of Norfolk. By yesterday morning this had evaporated to showers, then posssible light rain. We did actually, briefly feel a few spots of water in the air, but that was it. Apparently the rain has gone north - and south - and will miss us. Another two weeks of glorious sunshine is forecast. And it’ll get even hotter. On current Met Office form this means it’ll rain by the end of the week and get much cooler.

We keep being promised rain, or at least showers. But nothing materializes. We even had a yellow weather warning last week for heavy rain. Not a thing. We see dark clouds but they just pass by. Perhaps it is because we are on the coast. No rain for about 5/6 weeks. Just a little at night would be lovely

The showers seem to be quite sporadic and very short lived.

My mobile at present is showing
83% humidity.
The prospect of another sticky night then?

It didn't last very long Cherrytree

Blue skies again now (but apparently will be cooler tomorrow)

We're into the third week of school holidays here, and it has been fine until today, when the rain came on while I was doing an early watering for the vegetables (but not before I had carried the heavy watering cans for miles...). Must be a first for the school holidays anyway

Dry or wet,
The weather pays its debt.

We need weeks of steady rain after weeks of drought.

Minimoon congrats to you also☔

Jamila and Panache
Congratulations ☔

True to the forecast we had the very light pitter patter of rain overnight,the first in ages............and the area looks the worst for it..........and then with day break we had a mini deluge.......certainly refreshed trees etc, but by lunch time it was all over,back to dry,hot and sunny yet again.
Usually when it starts raining here it forgets to stop!
For once we have been proved wrong!!

It's raining!

We have cloud and 26° in Mid Norfolk and a very slight breeze has just got up

Should have been going on a nice outing (last chance before schools breakup) to a NT property in the Manchester area
Alas not to be, (emergency visit to MIL).

My mobile is showing rain for that area.

Can any GNer confirm if we had been able to go, would we have got drenched through to our underpants?
