Any Rain Anywhere, Or Are We In A 1976 Timewarp?

East Lancashire here! We've had a few showers over the past few days.

Just wait until 31st August. I am going on holiday so it will rain all that week.

Went to Almeria in July, who get 6 days a year - yes, it rained.
Went to Lazarote, in June, yep! only one day out of the expected zero.

Nothing at all in east Suffolk haven’t had any rain for what feels like months

It was supposed to rain earlier in Merseyside. Didn't see any.

We had a good half hours rain in Norwich on Thursday evening.

Nothing here in Peaky Blinders county. Very reminiscent of ‘76. I think ‘86 was another dry one. I have photos of dry reservoirs in Yorkshire at that time. (Then again in about ‘98 I have pictures of powerful water topping out and overflowing dams in Wales.)

The BBC website informs me that the rain should be stopping around 3.30am. Oh, really?

It might be nice if it could start.

What a bunch of comedians at the Met Office. Fancy having a job where you can get consistently paid for getting things consistently wrong.

Clairvoyancy is the only other occupation I can think of that generates an income for simply making things up......

It's been raining off and on since 9pm on the north Angus coast and is forecast again for Saturday night and all Sunday. Everywhere definitely needs it!

Raining here in Victoria but it is Winter so not unusual though it is still pretty dry mostly. Nasty dull day today after a week of lovely sunshine. Weeds everywhere especially oxalis, I hate the stuff it appears overnight everywhere.

If it rains here on Sunday, which it probably won’t I will stand outside in it and just enjoy the cool fresh feel of it.
Glad you got to enjoy it SueDonim.

My garden is dry and the plants look frizzled even though I am watering them. Seems weeks ago since having rain

It’s raining here in mid-Scotland! I just looked up and saw that the patio was wet. I’ve been out and walked in the grass in bare feet - they’re now feel so cool. Bliss.

It is raining at the moment here in Stirling, Central Scotland but not really heavily.

Come to the west of Scotland! For weeks while the rest of Britain was basking in the sunshine we had grey skies and drizzle. Some days the cloud was almost down to the ground! We finally got sun and some heat for about 10 days but we're back to Scotch mist and not being able to see the top of the hill. Though a lot of people here seem to prefer the drizzle and start to moan if the temperature gets to 20C!

Nothing here in Aberlady, East Lothian for weeks.
My digital weather forecasting gadget has been saying rain all day today, but none has fallen, or even looks like it might rain.

No rain here either, and there hasn’t been for several weeks. The ground is bone dry and the grass like straw. It always amazes me, though, how grass bounces back once the rain returns. I agree about the weeds - they seem quite green amongst the parched grass.
I think I’ll look up how to do a rain dance 😂😂.

No rain here either, but definitely neither 1976 nor 1989 or 90, which were just as warm and dry.

Here the weather is dry, cloudy and COLD with a nasty wind more reminiscent of the end of September than July.

The last time I remember it raining in the north west was May 11th. A friend came to stay and we visited RHS Bridgewater. It rained non stop all day! Nothing since!

I’m in Sussex on the south east coast and I can’t remember the last rain. It must be months ago. It’s so depressing.

All we had yesterday and today was loads of grey clouds all going somewhere else!

I don't think we've seen any rain since before Christmas - when other people were getting flooded we only a brief shower.

I'm a little worried that when the tropical storms start hitting in October the ground is going to be baked so hard that the rain will just run off - that's what happened some years ago when we got flooded. Our gardens round here are all heavy clay.

Crumbly159 'I'm sure we've slipped back 50 years'.
That's just the effect of the Labour Govt, nothing to do with the weather

No rain here for weeks. The lawn is yellowy brown and even the dandelions are shrivelling. The only things still going strong are the brambles and the ivy

*make, not made 🤦🏼‍♀️

Nandalot, Devon needs rain too!!! We will made you very welcome if you bring rain 😀
