Some light drizzle in Liverpool this morning, a couple of hours of heavier stuff in the evening.

Half a bucket of petrichor in Middle Earth.

Are the weather bricks wet?

No rain here since Friday and that was nothing like enough.

It is starting to sound like some people want rain. What is wrong with you lot?

No rain in Slough yet and I'm still enjoying the sunshine

Sunburn, allergies and dehydration. And some shoulder thing that can't reasonably be blamed on the weather.

Weather bricks black = night time.

Brown garden and dying plants.

Well, I thought it was clouding over for a bit of rain this morning, with some very ominous dark clouds. It seems I was wrong

LittleWheelsandBig · « **Reply #809 on:** 17 July, 2018, 10:31:56 am »

I'll take any and all of those things over wet stuff falling from the sky and ending up on me, the ground and the road, particularly since I had a front wheel slide (and fall) on a wet road last week.

Road surfaces will be extremely slippery when it finally rains, be very careful out there.

(Old enough to remember the 1976 drought)

The Norwegians are foretelling of as much as 0.2mm of rain for SG17 around 1400 o'clock today.

We'll see.

It's gone windy, cool and grey here, 20m S of Chester, and now begun to rain. Looking at the rain radar, the cloud stretches all the way west to the Welsh coast. I was going to go out on the 'bent this pm to get a few more Veloviewer squares, but might settle for more TdF instead.

We experienced a few drops of condensed atmospheric moisture here in East Kent this morning. Woo!

The last time I experienced proper rain was when I was in Scotland at the end of May, and even that was only for a couple of hours.

ElyDave · « **Reply #814 on:** 20 July, 2018, 12:48:43 pm »

I saw rain this week for the first time in about 2 months, I was in Aberdeen.

hellymedic · « **Reply #815 on:** 20 July, 2018, 08:11:54 pm »

We had a little rain this evening in HA8.

Kim · « **Reply #816 on:** 20 July, 2018, 09:04:43 pm »

I got soaked on a bike ride earlier. It's been a while...

rafletcher · « **Reply #817 on:** 20 July, 2018, 09:21:55 pm »

We bought a water butt a couple of months ago...... It still hasn’t rained despite dire warnings. Maybe a shower overnight, maybe not. It’s got so I don’t check the forecast before a ride. Just like being abroad.

ElyDave · « **Reply #818 on:** 21 July, 2018, 06:51:37 am »

None, Nada, zip, zero

Helluva bang at 3 a.m. followed by a downpour. Dry now, 18°. No wind so house still full of the 30° stuff.

essexian · « **Reply #820 on:** 21 July, 2018, 07:20:43 am »

We had about 4 hours worth last evening and most welcome it was too!

Indeed, two of our local stray cats (Eric and Lord Rayner) came into the house to sleep to avoid it. The rain also brought out a hedgehog we had not seen before (quite a small one, perhaps this years birth) looking for food... of course it got fed as do all passing animals!

And rain it did - steady, wet rain for about 3 hours. Barbour on for the first time in weeks, nipped out, filled the fountain, and 3 watering cans from the water butt, so that everything would be filled. The lawns have greened up already. It now feels a bit autumnal, but warmer: flat calm, watery sun, misty. All the foliage gently dripping. Will go out shortly and wipe down my car so it gets a free wash.

If we've had any rain in E17 it's been either while I was asleep or watching the Tour. Sun's doing its thing now.

rafletcher · « **Reply #823 on:** 21 July, 2018, 10:51:06 am »

We had 2-3mm around 4am on the Herts-Bucks border. Humid and overcast atm.

We've had a few showers this week. The landlady who owns the flat below mine has just come knocking on my door saying that there is water coming into her flat. This has happened before , there are concrete slab balconies outside & rain gets into the joins & leaches into the brickwork. Luckily this is classed as structural work & it's the management companies job to fix it. You can see the cracks when you look up from ground level.
