We've just had our first rain for a fortnight :-))

Five minutes worth :-))

Still, there's plenty of lightning going on to the south of us, so hopefully
a bit more (but not as much as Yorkshire got)

Ah well. It was finally dry enough to cut the grass here, though the
ground is still so wet from the weekend storm that sitting on the grass
is still out of the question.

Does anyone else think Britain's north/south climates are more
different than they used to be? Whatever's going on in the middle bit?

I'm in the middle bit (Lancashire) and in my 40 years I can say I've noticed
a change in climate, mainly from hot and dry summers and bitterly cold wet
winters in the past, to hot, wet summers and mildly cold but largely dry
winters.

I've worked outside for most of the past 24 years so I do notice these
things...I reckon we get more rain in June than we do in December.

Well theres no sign of rain down here and while last week my garden was
lush and green today its parched desert .......havent had any rain for at
least 5 weeks
Another year like the last 3 with these scorching weeks on dry sandy soil
and i will give up and sell up
Its too heartbreaking for words to see the way the climate has changed my
garden for the worst despite always piling on lashings of compost

You've got your formatting wrong, I didn't write any of the above and your
newsreader says I did.
If you intended replying to me, include my contribution, if you intended
replying to one of the others, relply to them and it will quote them and not
me, you must have stripped out my post manually.

with torrential rain and very violent thunder and lightning... it's heading
north east

Nothing at all in Sussex. It's still hot dry and dusty and right now I
expect to have to water the allotment this evening.

Must be the North/South divide: rain in Watford, rain in south London,
but not a drop here...
