We had a fair bit last night in outer SW London - not nearly enough of course, but proper rain for maybe half an hour, and it’s blissfully cool this morning - at least compared to the oven-like temps recently. More please! ?
Raining slowly but steadily here in Kent/South London borders It’s wonderful to have doors and windows open and to both hear and smell this lovely, much longed-for bit of nature. I hope it stays for a while.
No rain here in my part of South Yorkshire yet, though the sky is clouding up. We’re supposed to have some from about 4 pm, but we’ll see. We were forecast some for yesterday, but no rain came. No thunder, either.
In Durham - I was surprised that Harrigran reported thunder storms a couple of nights ago. I’m only a few miles away and had nothing - but there’s steady rain here now, but nothing spectacular.
Dd and family are going camping in a couple of weeks, so Sod’s Law says it’s bound to rain then! Can’t remember where though, but I don’t think it’s in the SE, sorry!
NW Surrey about ten minutes ago. A few gentle plops on the patio. Not enough to join up. Shrieked upstairs to DH in excitement but it came to nothing. Scanning the sky for promising clouds but it's just a uniform grey. Back to the watering cans. Sigh.
Rain? What’s that??? We haven’t had any for so long in E Kent, I would barely recognise it. The most forecast is 32% chance for us - little if any! And that is for tomorrow…
