Father, it has been three weeks since my last rainfall....
.....but it is raining tonight!!!!!
Oh, yes :-) No doubt I will get fed up with it after the first few days, but perhaps the grass will no longer look like a ginger person's chest wig. Wierd - ten miles inland and all the lawns are green, but here on the coast burnt brown is the fashionable colour. Western people, thank you for finally leaving us some. Cheers Dave R P.S. I expect all my outdoor tomatoes will now split. |

Yes, we are obviously near you or in a similar east coast place. Our fields have been brown for some weeks. Everything with shallow roots is well dried up though the trees (including our fruit trees) are fine, in particular we have had the biggest crop of plums ever this year. -- Chris Green |

Here it would make more sence to fix oil drums to it and use it as a raft. We've had 2 3/4 inch in 48 hours, yesterday we had 1 inch in less than 2 hours.

I'm so glad that you appreciate the fine holiday weather I have been sending you, my son. I confirm my promise not to send another flood (well not as big as Noah's one) now go forth and multiple. |

We have not only torrential rain but thunderstorms and 40-50 knot winds too. Where did you say you lived, Martin, Sodom or Gormorrah? |

I've had a mere 8mm of rain so far. Just enough to wet the foliage. No other rain for a month! -- David in Normandy.

In Leeds it has been wet for as long as I can remember, and all the summer veg crops are winding down and not producing new flowers. The chilli peppers, after a really good start, are taking an age to ripen. -- Kay |
