Hurled it down this morning after weeks of drought.
Now everything in the garden is suddenly looking perky and the water butt is
nearly full again.
Hopefully the allotment is no longer a dust bowl.

Precisely :-( It missed Cambridge by a few miles, to both sides.

A few drops wide enough apart that you could dodge them, that's all we got.
Off down the allotment to water once more.

Intermittent drizzle here, not enough to do much to the garden
yet, though sufficient to stop me gloss painting my garage door.

Same here in Leics. Temperature has dropped to 16 tops from 28.
Grass is greening up as we speak, you can almost see it!

What rain?

We've been promised heavy rain a few times recently, which wasn't
delivered. One day the forecast changed from heavy rain to prolonged
light rain to a short period of light rain, but what arrived was only a
few drops.

The previous rainfall only added about 9" to my water butt, but today we
had several hours of reasonably heavy rain, and I now have a full water
butt.

With luck I don't have to water the strawberries for a few days.

Precisely :-( It missed Cambridge by a few miles, to both sides.

In 2006 there were thunderstorms to the east, thunderstorms to the west,
thunderstorms to the north, and thunderstorms to the south, but pretty
much all of them passed my by.

Nick Maclaren.

Smug grin
Rained on and off all day yesterday, and again early this morning.
Water butt is full.
Grass is squishy.
The sky looks promising but no rain on the radar.
/Smug grin

It certainly makes a change for Suffolk to be getting extra rain.
We are normally the ones missing it because all of those to the west of us
have pinched it.

May it rain on your allotment.

That's about all we've had here in Keynshaml. Not even enough to lay
the dust. I've done several rain dances but no luck. More promised
for the next few days and I hope they are right .

caught in a downpour on a 10 mile walk over in Wycombe but nothing in
Amersham hardly at all.
