.....here on the Kent coast. For about 20 minutes. It dried up so quickly. Blink and you wouldn't have even known. But it's considerably cooler here today.

A welcome relief.

Yes we had quite a lot of rain in East Yorkshire last night. It was lovely.

It's pouring here now, north east.

We had some rain early morning as the drive was samp when I got up but unfortunately none since. The temperature is lower but it is overcast and so muggy. We are near where there have been fires and houses have burnt down we could do with a good downpour for a fee hours to help put out any lingering fires. The poor fireman and support workers ,just be exhausted. My heart goes out to the people who have lost their homes.

Frustrating day here in North Yorkshire. Mixed heat, sometimes grey cloud but coolish, and looked like it would rain any minute, then felt hot and stuffy, no wind. Then the most annoying bit as I drove the car, where there was the very lightest of minute rain, which if you put the wipers on, it just scraped across the glass and smeared it, so had to stop and clean it properly. Here I am now , nearly midnight, with windows open and too warm to go to sleep but dont think we are going to be lucky and get a shower. Ah well tomorrow is another day!
