It's raining Hurrah! Anyone else pleased?

We’ve had rain for most of the night and it’s still raining now . Looks set to last a week or longer . The temperature has dropped considerably too. Here in the NE we haven’t had wall to wall sunshine for months like many other regions have so “no” I’m not pleased to see the rain . We see plenty of it as it is .

Looks like it is here in the NW until Sunday, according to Accuweather

I can smell the rain in the air, but it hasn't arrived yet. Our water butts need a top-up! Seeing so much of the sun was lovely, but if only it hadn't been so hot!

If only! Another south west resident here, and all we've had is a smear of mizzle

Not weird at all Trisher perfectly unweird after all this fantastically hot weather - we badly need the rain - bring it on I say. It's not raining here yet on the Suffolk coast but is overcast and a (for me) nice temperature. In an ideal world I would love it to rain gently and steadily from 10pm until 6am every night - wishful thinking.

Yes i am looking forward to some rain, my poor lawns are looking very parched. It will be good for my veggie patch as well and save me getting the hose pipe out every other day. Plus of course refill our water resourses.

But not enough yet
Just enough so far to bring the roots to the surface!

Not yet. Still waiting for rain in South West as only had a tiny amount so far. Save lugging full watering cans around and maybe keep idiots off the beach.

It is so pleasant to lie in bed under the coombe ceiling and listen to the rain washing the slates!
