I don't know what bit of Anglia you live in Mog, but my bit got a four hour
thunderstorm and around an inch of rain last night. *More threatening now.

On the Essex coast (what is euphemistically called the Tendring
Peninsular), probably the best weather in the country because we face
south. Our rainfall last night might have struggled to a centimetre
but I doubt it. Going into the garden this morning there are places
where the rain does not seem to have penetrated at all - does this
mean I should do some pruning? Incidently we watched your thunderstorm
last night, my cat was very unimpressed. Bright and sunny again this
morning, though I understand it rained in Colchester.

If things get any drier I might have to buy a camel!

I doubt if you inhabitants of the UK desert (Essex) could cope with
our anual rainfall of 80+ inches a year
July is on av. one of our driest months with around 2-3 inches of
rain.
The forcast for the comming week is for more rain.
At least so far no thunderstorms,
