Well in the last 12 hours we've had almost an inch of rain.
But if we thought we had problems last summer, this is from the dahlia

much rain in June and July that I think my dahlias are just giving up.
I have lost about 40-50 of my 200 in the ground. They are just going
limp and drying up. I suspect the tubers are rotting. To finish them
off we had 7.4 inches of rain last weekend and have followed that with
nearly 4 more inches of rain during the week."

Ugh! That sounds grim! We've had a serious downpouor here this morning
and it looks as if it rained quite a bit overnight. But the sun is
trying to win now and there's a stiff breeze blowing.

We had a downpour during the night too. Cloudless when we got up but
it is rapidly clouding over. No sign of rain on the weather/whether
radar.

Thunder over Bath area now, 11.30 am.
