Chucking it down. ?

I have never known Wimbledon to be dry for the entire fortnight- maybe I speak too soon!

Still dry in East Suffolk. We could hear the Latitude music wafting across the fields last night, so although we need the rain, I hope it stays dry for them over the weekend.

Same here in W Kent/SE London. The Met app gave a yellow warning for thunderstorms over the area, but they missed us. Even a few drops would be better than nothing. When did we last have such a long, dry, hot spell? I can’t remember one lasting this long.

Same here in Mid Wales, it keeps missing us too Panache

Oops it missed us................again ....................so we are either very highly thought of or simply abandoned on this desert like wasteland!!!
The nearest thing to rain we have it in MANY Weeks are a few dark clouds above..............

Not a single drop in the NE and it’s a beautiful morning again, so I think the forecasters may have got it wrong.

Its now Saturday, no sign of rain at all in Essex.

Nothing in east Dorset or in Sussex

Slight shower here in South Yorks as we set off for the shopping yesterday - washed the windscreen then stopped. All the grass is dead everywhere you look.

Well we were told to expect heavy rain and thunderstorms this evening here on the NE coast but it’s very warm , calm, almost cloudless and zero rain .

Nothing here in Surrey. Hope we don't have any tomorrow we are going to the local fete which is usually excellent. It's my birthday on Monday so hope we don't have any then either

Rain all last night and this morning in the North West.
Hi Chewbacca nice to hear about someone else who can also smell when it is going to rain.

jusnoneed Fri 13-Jul-18 22:09:10

Nothing in our part of Dorset either, the Met office must of dreamt of the thunderstorms we were forecast!

BlueBelle Fri 13-Jul-18 22:08:28

Nothing in Suffolk

Chewbacca Fri 13-Jul-18 22:07:50

Thunder and lightning and then a brief deluge here in Cheshire. Smells like there may be more rain to come. Fingers crossed.

Charleygirl Fri 13-Jul-18 22:03:44

It did not last long in NW London

GrannyGravy13 Fri 13-Jul-18 22:02:04

SE Essex dry as a well picked bone!!

Elrel Fri 13-Jul-18 21:57:25

Only a brief heavy shower in my bit of the West Midlands. I so enjoyed the sound of rain pattering on leaves and the wonderful smell of rain.

NfkDumpling Fri 13-Jul-18 21:51:46

Nothing in North Norfolk either.

downtoearth Fri 13-Jul-18 21:50:11

Nothing in Mid Norfolk

Pittcity Fri 13-Jul-18 21:44:31

Nothing for weeks here in the East.....

Greyduster Fri 13-Jul-18 21:28:57

Further to my earlier post, having watered all the bloody pots, it is now bucketing down!!

phoenix Fri 13-Jul-18 21:28:33

Nothing here in North Devon.

lemongrove Fri 13-Jul-18 21:19:25
