The Day That The Rains Came Down

It is absolutely lashing down here in S E Essex, and has been for a fair few hours judging by the puddles on our driveway.

Still no rain here yet. Tomorrow late on I think for south Manchester.

It’s remarkable how our weather varies so much in areas in close proximity. My son in law’s manager in Salford, 10 miles away, didn’t believe our cars were snowed in.

Some rain south Devon today, but not enough. But the forecast says more soon so that's good 👍 We really need it.

A golden oldie!

There's a weather warning for Wales and the West Country for tomorrow. The ground is so dry 🤞 there is no flooding.

No rain here in North Leicestershire but I do love that song.

It’s bound to get colder as I changed the duvet to the summer one today.

I nearly put my winter woollies away, all washed and ready to store.
Just as well I didn't, I'm wearing one today.

Bit of drizzle yesterday evening here in Bedfordshire. Nothing at all today and my clay soil is pretty dry. Some rain predicted for tomorrow and I am really hoping for some steady rain despite the school holidays.

Really! I’m 12 miles north Manchester. It’s been very cold, especially this morning with some cloud but mostly bright skies.
No wonder we all talk about the weather 🌞

That explains it. We’re nearer 50 miles north of Manchester.
It’s raining in Nice too, sadly.

Steady drizzle here in the SW now. When I went out for my usual dusk wander around the garden I grabbed the nearest hat and pottered around wearing pyjamas, slippers and a straw sun hat. Very glad we're not overlooked.

Mollygo - we’ve had a downpour now- gatdens very thankfully

We were promised rain in Northumberland but haven't had any. There might be some overnight, or so we are told by the local weather forecast.
Here's hoping.

Can’t believe it, we are bone dry in the north west

We are wet in the north west -and the fog wants to sit on my after our latest walk.

Casdon Supposed to be horrendous tomorrow. We always get the rain first ☹️

Second week of school hols and the weather has changed to April showers. My garden was so dry I couldn’t even dig it yesterday so I’m grateful for today’s rainfall, even if I’ve had to wear a coat again!

Not a drop here in Durham. The water butt is empty as the roofers had to empty it to move it.

It’s very dull here in SW

Very little here and we are having to water pots etc. Fortunately we have several water butts full of the wet stuff and having sandy soil it soon dries out again.

We had an absolute monsoon for about a quarter of an hour yesterday I literally only had to cross the road from a car to my house and got soaked to the skin and had to run through inches of water on the road it was whizzing down in about an inch or more depth Then as suddenly as it started it stopped I opened my back door and there was about 2 inches on the path outside very unusual

We've had rain all day here in Scotland (South of Edinburgh) but we had a glorious week so I'm not complaining. The kids have another week's holiday.

SWWales and has been raining since late morning

Gosh, I’m only in mid Wales, and we haven’t had very much at all yet. It keeps coming over threatening, then we get more sunshine instead. It’s pretty windy though.
