Default Was that enough rain for you?

The bottom end of our garden is now 3 to 6 in under water.

We've had a lovely evening drinking wine on the terrace as we watched
the rain crashing down and the accompanying lightning display. Now the
western sky is a curious flat yellow and the eastern sky is filled with
a perfect double rainbow.

Where are you? Here in BH22 we had a light 5 min shower, a few rumbles of
thunder in the distance, and the pavement outside is now dry again. The
water level in my tank has not changed appreciably.

NW of Leeds. I reckon we've had the best part of an inch.

Very dry here still. Overheard recently~~" I don't think we've had
'puddle' rain since Christmas"
Response~~ " Er yes, I suppose so~~ which Christmas?" Seems ages since
any real rain.
Best Wishes Brian.

Been a hot sunny day down here in Cambridgeshire, but there is
lightening and thunder around now, I guess the rain will be here sooner
or later.

Not a drop here, some sheet lightening a couple of hours ago but no thunder
so a long way away. I can hear neighbours still out in their garden talking
and laughing (10.45pm) and it's very humid and oppresive, thank goodness for
the big ceiling fan.

It arrived not much later. Nice sunny day again today though :-)
