Is anyone else going through our weather patterns or is it confined to
Landscove?! We are having dull days, sometimes with ferocious black
clouds
piling up but not a drop of rain worth mentioning. It's warm, to and
unpleasantly airless at times. We're having to water both garden and
nursery morning and night.
I know this area can be a bit of a micro-climate but this is starting to
get
silly!

I could just change Landscove for Skewen and put my name in place of
yours.

Only one bit of good rain in the last couple of months. Lots of dull days
when it looks like rain but we get the odd 5 mins of drizzle.
I hate to think of my next water bill.

Sun broke through about 2 hours ago so it should be on its way to you both!
bit of rain forecast for Thursday night but the ground here is quite damp
already so its not really needed :~)

We have a good week end forecast for sun but today, the weather did much of
its usual trick - sulk all day and start to clear up around closing time!
It was warm, dry and overcast. Again.
Ray had the spray lines going on the lawns and flower beds near the house.
The lawns are beginning to dry out and crack and plants are flagging
terribly. It wouldn't be so awful if we had real sun, somehow!

Sun - what is that? It is a rarity up here in North East Wales / Wirral -
all we seem to have had is unremitting rain!

I'm not watering anything except the hanging basket and the pots
occassionally.

It has been warmer this week, but cloudy with sum mixed in - and hey guess
what - its raining again this evening!

Needless to say the courgettes are growing faster than we can eat, and the
tomatoes are staying green resolutely......

Last night we had a good bit of rain - nothing dramatic and it won't have
penetrated far but it gave things a bit of a drink and freshened up the
garden. Today, it has been hot - almost muggy - with a fair bit of sunshine
but nothing memorable. This is very dull weather just now - neither one
thing nor the other!

Its quite odd and I see this every day. I live on the 'Sunshine
Strip' - a mile wide belt edging the bay. I call it this because if
you drive inland onto one of the many hills surrounding Torquay and
look north, east or west, you see heavy, dark cloud. Look seawards
and the 'strip' is bathed in sunshine more often than not.

Every day, I drive 15 or so miles to work (about 3 miles from Sacha &
Ray) and the change in weather is remarkable. It is as though there is
an invisible barrier holding back a bank of cloud. That said, if it
is any consolation, apparently it was also pretty dull and airless
for much of yesterday over here . Not so today - very warm and sunny
with not a cloud in sight. I'm tempted to do the 'grockle' thing and
go to the beach at the end of the road. To hell with weeds and
watering!

Today is very hot and clear here. But even as I type that, I can see some
cloud banking up. We always say that the A38 seems to act as a natural
barrier between us and the moor, keeping rain up there mostly. But what it
is that gives us all this cloud and then brings the sun out at around 5pm
each day is beyond me!
