Rain! At last!

Have anyone else’s cats behaved differently with the change in weather? Ours are all charging about like nuts today and quite skittish.

Is it the rain or the wind? I know that animals and children find wind unsettling.

Yes, it was very windy. Bizarre, tails fluffed up, running the length of the flat and up and down their towers, even our more sedate older girl.

Oh, oh. Another thunderstorm. Here they go again!!

Come to Hampshire.Soggiest county in England 🤣

This morning our heating came on. We run it at a fixed temperature of 18.5 all year round and it hasn't come on for weeks because the weather was too warm, but today, with the temperature around 15 degrees, it came back on again.

It rained over night and off and on all day. We went out to lunch to a restaurant in on old mill. They had a craft and food fair going on, with lots of stalls under gazebos, but shut it down several hours early because the wind was rising and they were worried about the safety of the gazebos.

Having been a regular exhibitor at antiue fairs, mainly outside, for many years, I know only to well the damage a rising wind can do to a gazebo, even when it has weights holding it done.

I challenge this 🤣. I’m north Manchester where it’s raining again and so chilly my central heating came on.
Another wet windy dog walk awaits.

Our neighbour's large gazebo blew over the fence and landed upside down on our shed one year in a high wind.

We had rain almost all day on Saturday!

Ideally, I’d prefer nice hot (not too hot though) sunny days with two hours heavy rain in the middle of each night!

Anyone able to oblige 🤣🤣🤣

I think the wettest county atm is the one next door - Wiltshire. It hasn’t let up since last Monday. Our heating came on yesterday morning. Never happened in June before. 🥴

You just described perfect weather Cossy. Would be great if we could have that.

Rain here again . I have plants to put in. Surprising after the rain last week to see how little it has penetrated. Ground still hard after a few inches.Still this should help.

Hey ! A miracle in north Manc, the rain has stopped, sun peeping out, blowy. A good drying day mum would have said, so my duvet cover is on the line

I'm happy to say it is still raining here (Surrey) and looks like it will last into next week. My garden is looking much healthier, the air is fresher and the car is cleaner 😁

But for those who want the sun - another heatwave due in the next few weeks so we in the South east will be back up to 34 degrees or so.

Today on the south coast it’s non stop rain. My husband came back drenched from his golf earlier. They stopped at 9 holes. It’s pouring again here now. But the grass is greener and all the plants have put a spurt on so not all bad I suppose.

It has rained (north west) for days now. Then suddenly we get a bright sunny sky on one side of the house and another imminent downpour on the other side.

With the rain, grass on our dog walk across rough fields went from knee height to shoulder height, with nettles and brambles suddenly even taller, making the pathways almost invisible and a real struggle to get through.

As a few hardy souls trample our way through, it’s getting better, but I wish I could carry a scythe!

I’m out with my dog on our usual field. Wellies

Well, here in the north west we have no shortage rain

Haha Manchester and area is known for it isn’t it?

Makes lots of green grass for the sheep.

Sunny now here, with blue sky and white fluffy clouds, but was raining when I went to work very early this morning, I cycled there and got wet🤬

Our horses, always skittish in rain, when we are out they keep trying to turn for home, dancing about, even in their leather coats.
In the field they turn their rumps to the prevailing wind/rain,
as though they didn’t have an expensive shelter/trees, the dogs
too running around in circles like half wits.
The cats however are totally insouciant, yawn stretch curl up.

None of them are bothered by thunder or lightning, I bring them in so they are cosy.

Its been pretty wet in Cumbria for the last week!
