Rain, what rain?
They forecast "scattered showers" for us every day last week.
There were none. It rained here last evening; a few drops on my window but not enough to show on the paving. I just want t good deluge - at night please! Pam in Bristol |

I can work out "showers", even "scattered" at a push but I'm not sure what a "deluge" is. Then you say "rained". I think the correct spelling is "reigned" but is it proper to refer to Her Maj as an "it"? Anyway, the Court Circular makes no mention of her being in Bristol recently. I am wondering if you are referring to "precipitation" but I don't even remember what that is properly. It's just a big word I read somewhere. I recall it was preceded by "lack of". As to "drops on your window" do you mean something like the little bits of water that hit the window when I'm using the sprinkler on a patch of newly seeded lawn? Jake (in central South Wales) |

Jake (in central South Wales) I notice Jake that you don't tell Pam of the rain we have had here in South Wales over the last week or so, in all just over an inch, though we missed a cloudburst last Thursday by about half a mile. I had just left home for a meeting at the Welsh National Botanic Gardens http://www.gardenofwales.org.uk/ when I was hit by torential rain viusibility was down to about 200 yds, 2 miles on it had become light rain , and a mile further on the motorway was dry. |

Eh! What rain is that? I've had a couple of short sharp showers for maybe a minute or so. I actually blogged one day last week that I could look up to a bright sky but if I looked towards your end of Swansea Bay it looked dark and very dismal. Not the first time that you and I, despite being probably less than 15 miles apart as the crow flies, have experienced different weather. |

Not the first time that you and I, despite being probably less than 15 miles apart as the crow flies, have experienced different weather. I have a couple of examples I use of weather differences over a close area. Years ago I was in a play or Directing a play, forgot which, 9 miles away at the Apollo Theatre in Newport. My car is at the bottom of our garden which goes through to the next road. I got wet running down the garden to the car. Got to Newport, as I say about 9 miles away, and dry pavements and people walking about in shirt sleeves. But the other was even closer. Someone at Arreton painting their windows. Chucking it down at Apse Heath, 2 miles away. I was Directing a play at the Apollo last night and thought I would go on my motor bike :-(( Too risky with clouds about :-( Mike -- ....................................

Bill Would that be Monday 9 May? I'm about three quarters of a mile north of M4 J37 (Pyle). Couple of short sharp showers. Thassit. I blogged about it at http://www.rivendell.org.uk/wordpress/?page_id=345. Years ago I worked in the centre of Cardiff and can remember one occasion where it was chucking it down at the back of the building but dry at the front. Weather can be like that! Cheers Bill Jake |

Pam in Bristol If the sun gets right tomorrow, I'll try to photograph a rather colourful streak on the lounge window here. Not the usual white splash with dark bits but a mix of red and blue hues. As to washing it off, I'll go with your recommendation and see if the local supermarkets sell this "sky-water" you mention. Is it good for getting general dirt of windows as well as bird poop?
