....much of a day for gardening today. It's lashed down with rain all
night and now it's blowing a hooligan. It was supposed to have gone
through in the night but little sign of it doing so at nearly 10.30am.

Fairly horrible here too, no chance of getting out on the garden today.

It did even get here to the east coast to about 9 this morning. So much for
it being gone by midday.

Just check the radar weather maps and you can predict yourself when it
will stop raining.

We were promised it for all day, so I didn't have any expectations.

Just rain here, heavy enough to be miserable, not heavy enough to be
fun. Not like the thunderstorms we've just had in Greece - wonderful
forked lightning displays over the sea and adjacent islands while still
warm enough to be sitting on our (covered) balcony with wine. Paddling
through a six inch deep torrent to get to our car the other side of the
street.

I do hope that the locals moved in time the pigs that they keep in the
overflow channels under the new road ;-)

It stopped raining at about 10AM up here in Cheshire and the Sun keeps
peeping through the clouds. Even so I won't be doing any gardening.

It hasn;t arrived here yet. The wind is picking up but no rain yet.

So finally the drought is over in your part of the world? )

Just a bit! We always listen to the weather forecasts but really, I do
wonder why we bother at times. This seems to be such a micro-climate
that what's happening 2 miles away isn't happening here.

Meteox has nice graphics but the forecasting part isn't always particularly
accurate.

That's why I suggest forecasting yourself. Based on the previous few
hours of rain it should have been possible to extrapolate to see when it
would finish.

We've noticed that the weather is very often different between the north and
south entrances of the tunnels under Amsterdam harbour.

Yes, happens here all the time - cross the A38 and the weather is
different one side to the other.

The Dutch could have saved money on the tunnels then )

Only if they'd imported Dartmoor.

No thanks. It suits us just where it is. All is quiet here tonight
and it's not raining. Who knows what tomorrow will bring....

Colder weather and more rain.

It's colder here today and with a light breeze. No rain, though but it
is a bit grey. However, plenty of things are still flowering, the
Dahlia excelsa is still going, rather unexpectedly, given the gales of
yesterday, the Impatiens tinctoria even has a few buds on it, which is
fairly amazing and the wonderful Euryops just keep on going, as always.
I wouldn't mind snow - in fact I like snow but it's a very rare event
in this village.
