Well we were promised a deluge of biblical proportions today accompanied by T&L (and possibly the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse if they weren’t busy) so I cancelled one of my commitments as I didn’t want to be caught driving in it. We had ten minutes of rain and that was it. I wouldn’t pay weather forecasters in tap washers!

Yep, same here, Greyduster. We didn't even have 10 minutes of rain - just 5 mins in one shower and 30 seconds in another.

My grass, I fear, has burnt to a crisp, and is gone for good.

That much, Greyduster? 😯

Rain is forecast for tomorrow.

We had some, very little, now it's a sunny, breezy afternoon and the washing is drying well.

We do need rain (all night).

Ha I went into the kitchen to put a casserole in the oven, came back into the lounge full sun again ! The patio is already dry.
NanKate. I hope you have dry interludes at least. Have a lovely time.

We go off for a 5 day hols tomorrow and it is going to rain everyday. 😏

Two brief showers early today and little else, no ‘heavy showers with possible thunder’, I'm still hopeful.

The joy of a water butt filling!

I agree, we had some rain where we are in the SE, has been heavenly, yesterday was so muggy and uncomfortable, am looking forward to a good nights sleep.

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

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.
