Some rain did fall yesterday in SE London, a heavy burst for about 5 mins or so. Then nothing. Really hot and humid after that. Today is a bit of cloud and a wind but no rain for the next week and the temps are rising. Happy people in the North West, Scotland and NI will be getting sufficient rainfall. Here the earth is like dust with big fissures in it and the trees look like it is autumn with brown leaves everywhere.
Two spits & a drip on one window & a few more on another. Not enough to even show on the ground here in East Anglia! If someone has too much throw it our way pretty please????
We're still waiting here in west London, though it hasn't been as unpleasantly humid over the past few days. We spent last week near the coast in Dorset and, although the temperatures were high, it didn't have that unpleasantly high humidity that we've had at home recently.
The rain barrel on the south side of the house was full!!! On the north side they were half full All starting from empty yesterday evening. Yet the soil and terrace looked cork dry this morning and i never heard it rain.
Quite heavy for 5 minutes this morning in North Essex. Just enough to leave dirt on the car and patio. No help to the garden though. Now it's overcast and humid.
Teeny weeny amount overnight here in my part of Bristol; probably less than 1mm. It wet the road and pavements, then made the air very humid…. Not enjoyable. I wish we had had the lashing rain of other parts of the country.
I’m pretty sure there wasn’t any rain at all here in North Wiltshire. Looking at the BBC weather app which goes up to 8th August no rain is forecast. Scary now.
