Rain at last 😄

25 miles south none either Aely.

Nothing in London and now the bloody rain icons on next weeks weather are starting to disappear again. Firstly it showed a rain icon on Monday but now it has gone and it says 29 degrees. What is going on with the Met office, is it so hard to forecast rain??
The earth here is fissured and reduced to dust. We are in drought. And the trees are acting like it is autumn, shedding their leaves.

My daughter in Andover tells me that they had torrential rain for about 30 minutes, followed by a lighter shower half an hour later yesterday. Here, 40 miles up the M3 we got heavy, black clouds - but not a drop of rain.

We had a huge deluge for about a minute here in North Hampshire. We actually stood outside to watch the novelty of it!

Yesterday the postman brought me a package and said excitedly, ‘It’s raining!’ On my package were 4 rain drops. That was it. No more.
Southern England, no rain except one light shower in the past six weeks.

Where abouts are you?

No rain, east coast still hot sun FranP yes we re in drought area and not a million miles from raging fires on Dunwich Heath

More rain overnight in north Manchester. The (hideous) leylandi hanging over my fence is now too wet for the gardener to cut back
The rest of the garden is looking much happier 🌞

No, nothing for weeks and East Anglia is now in official drought.

Watched the pictures from the Commonwealth games on the news this morning, envied them getting that rain. Pouring down and puddles!
Here in our part of Dorset we had one 30 second shower on Monday, just about made the patio wet, and then it was gone.

What is rain?

After the few drops of rain, the flying ants took off.

Then the sun came out and it got hotter.

Not a drop in London and is red hot.

North west rain overnight. My lawns are singing. Grey start leading to sunny afternoon and evening. I did some garden tidying after five by which time a perfect summer evening xxx

Oh goodness! Some spots of rain. Just enough to dampen the washing on the line slightly and land on me.

Could do with a bit more

Heavy downpours but high temps. It's like a monsoon here. The ground steams.

S W Wales. We have had two showers this morning. Just enough to liven up the bushes and wet the grass.

Absolute stair rods here in mid Northumberland, yesterday and Saturday. Very welcome but I need to cut my grass and it's sopping wet!

Naturally it has started raining. We have family here on holiday. . NW

Whingey

Here in Alton.Anyone else?

Not too far from you, her in N.E. Hampshire, but not a drop. Now covered by the hosepipe ban as well. We usually escape it.

I can't remember when we got measurable rain here, sometime in May perhaps?

We love Aberlady - we quite often stay at the caravan park there. We were just down the road at the fish and chip van with our grandson the other day!

We went through Aberlady yesterday!

We had what is sometimes called “Biblical Rain” here in Aberlady, East Lothian.
Honestly it was like a monsoon. I had to go out in the car to see to my daughters cats and got completely drenched just getting into the car.
My garden loved it though!

Just a few sprinkles here in Shropshire yesterday morning and again yesterday evening, nowhere near enough to do the garden any good.
