Raining

We’ve had 2 mins of large drops, it must have gone North to you! Not fair ??

Oh enjoy teetime. We may get a shower tomorrow in the central belt.

Really pleased for you Teetime. (Not). TIC emoji.

We're due torrential rain, thunder and lightning. Sooner the better. The atmosphere is very heavy here.

31 degrees here, clear blue sky but breezy.

I might go out and buy a paddling pool tomorrow, then it will surely rain.

Same here Jane10 due here 8pm onwardp.

42c on my South facing patio.

Shops have sold out of paddling pools and fans around here.

We've just had a downpour, high winds and hailstones here in South Yorks - distant rumble of thunder but it's all passed over now so someone else must be getting it.

Our storm is expected tomorrow, I'm beyond excited, I don't think I will ever moan about it raining again

I'll feel like running about in it like people do when the monsoon arrives. (I say running, but realistically, I'll be propelled by my stick and hirpling along. Scottish word alert)

Oh I wish it would here. Still sweltering and very close and oppressive this evening.

Dropped down to 31 here now. I’ll join you hirpling along, Jane, if/when it rains. I must look that word up as I don’t know if I know how to hirple.

Oh I just love that word Jane10, my mum was a great hirpler- she taught me everything I know! Funnily enough my old boy was brought up a 20 minute walk from me, yet he'd never heard the word till he met me!

I much prefer hirpling to limping. It sounds so much more dramatic. I practise it all the time.

Well, I’ve learnt a new word! I love it too

We had about 20 large drops at teatime. Though we've a flood alert in place just up the valley so it must surely be on its way to us now.

We have storms/rain forecast for tomorrow. Bring it on.....Please!

I've been out and made sure the dahlias are staked so fingers crossed nothing will be flattened.

I think we in the South East might be having ours tonight but my fan is so loud I probably won’t hear it. Remember to,look out for the blood moon tomorrow, weather permitting. It’s quite orange tonight, full moon tomorrow plus lunar eclipse.

We had a thunderstorm earlier. It lasted for about 45 minutes, the rain it produced was heavy but of short duration. We are forecast more storms tomorrow. DH hates lightning as he was struck once when he was a boy. He has the mark on his shoulder to prove it. He was lucky, as the trees he was running through took most of the strike.

Nothing here yet in east anglia

Yes, I noticed the orange ting tonight Bellanonna
Knowing my luck, it will be stormy and therefore invisible tomorrow

Lying in bed, I was thrilled to hear the heavens open. I thought brilliant a lovely rainy night for the garden but it didn't last for long at all. Very disappointed. No hirpling called for.

There are the remains of a few puddles on the patio but it must have evaporated almost immediately. I have never felt so hot as last night/this morning!

We had 5 seconds of heavy blobs of rain yesterday evening, but we could see rainbows around us.

Who got our rain??
