Here in Alton.Anyone else?

The slightest drizzle which has barely wetted the leaves. Windy though. I’m taking the opportunity whilst it is cloudy to plant a Phormium in a pot in the front garden, as it has had a bit of a re-vamp, the phormium and sempervivums are last to be planted.

South Downs

South Wales, nothing yet but forecast for lunchtime. It was very windy last evening but this morning the wind has dropped and skies are blue.

A brief shower here in the East Midlands.

Nothing in N Surrey. Was overcast first thing. Now a blue sky....again.

HelterSkelter1 Sun 26-Jul-26 09:28:53

Rain is forecast at 10.00. Won't hold my breath.

Now there are two rain threads. I dont know how to merge them?

S Yorkshire, light rain all night, more expected today ☺️ all fresh and nice.

Whingey Sun 26-Jul-26 09:35:01

My fault.Thought it hadn't gone on so did it again 😨

Short heavy shower here in Hertfordshire. Now stopped and blue sky appearing.

Patio was wet here near Bristol so I assume it rained during the night. Missed it!

Rained all night here in Edinburgh and lightening and further showers due. Am really enjoying the fresher air.

Iam64 Sun 26-Jul-26 09:53:12

Lots of welcome rain in the north west

Visgir1 Sun 26-Jul-26 10:15:02

Rained for about 3 mins here 😅

S W Wales. Puddles in the road this morning…..windy but no more rain .

MiniMoon Sun 26-Jul-26 10:37:03

Yes, rain. It would come today when DH and I are going on an outing to the Tanfield Railway. Ah well, the garden will appreciate it.

TerriBull Sun 26-Jul-26 10:39:57

A bit of spitting here, nothing significant in my neck of the woods, wedged between The Surrey Hills and The South Downs. Having been out to get the papers it feels altogether fresher. I'm towel washing this morning, family have been here, so they'll go out later when it's forecast to be hotter. O/H would like it to rain and rain for the garden.

Nothing here is East Yorkshire despite being promised. Really disappointed.

eazybee Sun 26-Jul-26 10:45:31

Short (3 minutes) shower in South West.
Now cloudy and hopefully threatening.

merlotgran Sun 26-Jul-26 10:47:35

Nothing at all on the South Hampshire coast even though the weather app tells me I’m getting twenty minutes of light drizzle..😡

Zilch in Derbyshire

tanith Sun 26-Jul-26 11:12:03

10 min shower in Bedfordshire.

MG55 Sun 26-Jul-26 11:17:07

Lovely refreshing rain here on the Oldham edge of the Pennines. My garden and lawn are lapping it up 🪴🪴

LadyGracie Sun 26-Jul-26 11:23:09

Puddles on the patio here in Caerphilly and a puddle on the tiled kitchen floor where I forgot to pull the velux window closed a little.

None in London but there is a breeze, so my clothes will dry quickly. I have been sunbathing.
