Thunderstorms all last night with torrential rain here in Leics.
Perked the veggie plot up no end - no amount of watering is as good as a
downpour.

Downside was a text from Blight Alert for my postcode..great service, btw,
if you grow potatoes.

Lucky you with the rain, not so good the blight alert. The rain does
tend to bring it in!
Good luck.

We are due heavy rain tomorrow which will be a crying shame. Our Grandson
who joined the Royal Marine Band Service last September has his first public
parade at Gunwharf Quays at Portsmouth tomorrow. Forecast heavy rain. Corps
of Drums right on the front row so won't get any shelter from the rest of
the bandsmen and women.

1.00 pm if anyone is in the area. They always give a good show.

We still haven't had more than a few drops of rain.
Thunderstorms heading in our direction divide and pass to the east or
west of us.

I think that is about to change...

Massive one just heading out of France across Belgium on NE'ly path
to the Netherlands:

It does have a few very narrow gaps but they are very narrow, I'd say
it'll be over Suid Holland in the next 2 to 3 hours. That storm was
over the South Bay of Biscay/French coast late last night.

The rain radar shows some *very* heavy rain associated with it.

Two distinct bands earlier but have fallen apart a bit now.

It arrived at 11:00 BST with a flash and a bang as forecast by
www.buienradar.nl
It is still raining.

So far, we've had just a few very tiny spits of rain but it's a bit
humid and overcast at 65F. If it's going to rain, I wish it would get
on with it and let the sun come back!
