Enjoying the rain

We have had really heavy showers all evening in North Bucks. Hopefully the butts are full and I can have a few days without watering the dahlias and pots.
However I have had kilos of tomatoes this summer because of all the sun. The freezer is full if pasta sauce. Still have about 4kg and not sure what to do with them

We had a few periods of heavy rain yesterday. It was lovely and noisy in the conservatory as it poured over the roof. Same again today I believe .

The rain missed us entirely in our part of Bristol. Today? 🤞🤞
I’m very envious of the wet GNetters!

Just one heavy shower when out for a walk with a friend after lunch. We sheltered under a tree for a while but in the end dashed to the car got drowned and then it all disappeared. Two bedraggled OAP’s 🤷‍♀️

We had an absolute deluge which lasted about half an hour - just long enough for me to get drenched walking from the hairdresser to the car 🤬

Same here, and I was carrying shopping! Had to change clothes the minute I got in the house🤬

I’d just put my washing out , in sunshine I might add.
Ten minutes later , quite a downpour for 5 minutes. It soon dried off.

Ive been longing for rain, but we’re off for a weeks break and rain is forecast every day. ☔️.

Good on you, is what I say!

I love the rain, no matter what! I was at work yesterday when it absolutely poured down, as in torrential, such a pity I couldn't stand out in it, I'd have loved getting drenched!

But I don't think my boss would have been pleased having me come in dripping wet and with a saturated uniform!

We’ve finally had five minutes of heavy rain even though the app is showing ☀️☀️

I don't normally mind rain but my granddaughter is getting married in 2 days time and the weather forecast is not looking good. However I've bought some see-through umbrellas for the bride, groom, bridesmaids and a few other family members which have been gratefully accepted!

We have rain, real rain not spots! Not sure how long it will last but I knew taking the car to be washed and valeted would do it as the window cleaner hasn't been yet And as I type it's stopping already......

Athrawes so many forecasts are proving to be wrong, hope it works out like that for your granddaughter's wedding and it holds off, at least for the outside parts.

It's cool, dry and breezy here.

Rain showers were forecast.
I was hoping not to water.

Hope it stays dry for the wedding, Athrawes but at least you're prepared!

I love rain and the sound of rain, but only in the night 😂

Me too. Apparently we had 2 minutes of rain yesterday but I missed it I was in Tesco.

A heavy downpour about half an hour ago here in the SE and more rain to come tomorrow morning. Sunny again now.
Hopefully the garden will perk up.

What is the point of your comment?

It WILL rain tomorrow. I have a garden bench I want to finish painting, and it is too heavy to move indoors.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

I went out and watered a few things in the front garden, tubs that don't catch the rain, new perennials and a young tree thst is looking stressed.
That'll bring the rain on, I thought.
It did, all of about 5 minutes of it. Then the sun came out again.

When it says there is an 85% chance of rain, it obviously doesn't mean it will rain for 85% of that day, it means there is a 15% chance it won't rain on your garden at all 😀

Anyone else ? We have a southwest lounge and it has been absolutely stifling ! It’s been raining now for a couple of hours, DH and I are having a lazy afternoon with the patio doors open breathing in the lovely cool air.
I’ll probably be moaning in a couple of weeks about weather, but for today at least it’s so refreshing.

Do your patio doors open inwards?
I love sitting in our conservatory with the doors open, they open outwards though, so have to close them when it’s raining 😩

We keep getting serious looking black clouds overhead followed by a pathetic bit of drizzle. Our lawn is like concrete, but I have faith that with a good soak the grass will recover. What amazing stuff it is! Hard to remember that we had stripes last year. Not missed cutting it though.

The black clouds approach
We're going out in a bit!

Here in West Wales we have had really heavy bursts of rain, followed by warm sun. I know the rain is much needed, but I am on holiday!!!

You are priceless! Thank god I don’t know you! Babs wasn’t sarcastic, nasty or critical like some!
I don’t think I have ever seen a pleasant friendly post on here from you. You must be a really sad and bitter woman.

I would love some rain - pleeeeeease

Thunderstorms and downpours here in SWest France.
Temperature down to 21 degrees. Wonderful. Finally able to sleep under the (very) light duvet.

A few spots of rain this afternoon, hoping it will rain properly soon. I’m fed up with watering the tomatoes and plants in pots!
Think I’ll have to reseed the earth where the lawn once was, luckily I have lots of grass seed.
