The rain is back
After a light 0,5" of rain a couple of days ago overnight we had a
further 1 inch so that we now have flowing water down the track and out of the little gate. Now after months of moaning about no rain it wont be long before we are back to "I wish the rain would stop, we can't do anything in the garden it's so wet" Never happy some people.

David @ the Wet end of Swansea Bay What a difference a bay makes! This end we're getting heavy but short squalls - 5 minutes to get soaked - then sun or high cloud for an hour or two before another squall.

David @ the Wet end of Swansea Bay Heavy rain today here in Normandy, have to say I'm pretty happy to see it. The ground is still dry a few inches down though. After the last 5 days at least the fields are greening up. Can't say I was very happy about the hail though, it was very thick and won't do cherries and pears much good. Sorry to hear about your flooding, Baz. -E |

David @ the Wet end of Swansea Bay We, or at least further up the Swansea valley, must have had very heavy rain overnight as the River Tawe was bank high today in spate. Bill |

David @ the Wet end of Swansea Bay It's been raining here in Leics for 24 hours. Although we never had the drought others had, my new allotment was certainly dry after we took off the surface tussocky grass and nettles with the digger. So I'm fairly happy that what we have sown and planted recently will be enjoying it. OTOH if it does not stop soon, the bridge under the railway will be flooded and I won't be able to get down the village to it.. Tina |

You can do a bit better, but the probability of being right drops off fast. However, the medium-term forecasts are little better than guesswork. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

David @ the Wet end of Swansea Bay Never had such serious rain as here recently. It throws it down most days. I will have to re-sow my peas and leeks. Tina |
