Here in Nantes it is absolutely bucketing down!!! I can just imagine the rot setting in from here

A bit of drizzle for the last few days, the wind has picked up today with a touch of Sunshine.   

[Gordonmull]

Dry...again. We've had one day of light rain (two days ago) in what feels like months. By yesterday you wouldn't have known it had been. So out with the hose again tonight, since a lot of what I grow is in containers.

[jimtheworzel]

17c, rain pm, wind 10 to 20 mph

[jimtheworzel]

the rain is here, its pi**ing down now looks like its in for the day

[Digeroo]

Just had a light shower but now the sun is trying to break through. 

Very dry here, potatoes and rhubarb keeling over.  Desperately doing rain dance.  Lets hope forecast rain appears, I am off this evening to watch some Shakespeare outside so it is bound to pour.

[jimtheworzel]

Periods of light rain, with  Possible thunder, Temp 16c, but feels more like 11c in the  WSW  wind @ 23KLM PH.

the sun has just come out.

[cornykev]

A real mixture.  Started off mild with cloud, followed by a few showers, then the wind really picked up, the heavy rain followed with fine Sunshine since, still windy though.

Just got back from the allotment, tried out my new grass hook, which doesn't work very well, and didn't water.  Got some Council compost and some manure, no wood chip yet.  Got home and the heavens opened, tennis at Queens cancelled but didn't realise that I was watching Murray in the final last year.  He was crying when he lost, can't stand him or his mother.
Off topic, again, but the sun is out now.  Just had to tell Kev about the lovely, loads and loads of Council compost. 

[Digeroo]

Had some rain yesterday filled one of my water butts, not quite filled the other.     Now there is a dry layer below the surface of the soil.   But it did water my carrot seeds.  Had some sunshine too but it was very windy.

Today wind dropped.   

I have to pay £1/ bag for council compost: bit of a struggle filling bags and then carting it about  , nice to get it delivered free.   I am concerned about it containing selective weedkillers due to lawn clippings.

Hoping to get to the lottie today as still have stuff to go in.  So cold and very windy here yesterday, bit worried as to what damage they'll be.  At least everythings well watered given all the rain we've had last few days.
Digeroo which council are you getting your compost from?  One and only lot I bought from my council was such rubbish that I buy from lottie shop.  I no its dearer, but worth it for peace of mind and quality.
Its a pale grey sky and light wind so far today, so on with the boots and in with the plants 

[jimtheworzel]

More cloud than sun, wind 5 to 10 mph/ temp 17c, slight chance of rain pm. don't think I will need 

[cornykev]

Dull but mild here with light spit, but drying seconds after it lands.   

[jimtheworzel]

21c is to days temp, 16mph wind speed
that wind never goes away.

[jimtheworzel]

more or less the same as Monday     21c  wind same speed.
correct me if I am wrong but it will soon be the longest day
and the nights will soon be drawing in towards the winter months, and not even had a summer as yet, at least not to call one ?.
sorry for the doom and gloom, but that's  how I feel at this moment

In France it's just totally odd. Some places this week have had a heatwave, others have had floods. We have had quite cool days, extremely cloudy with some drizzle but today there is a bit of sun so getting warm again (around 18 deg). The humidity in the air however is horrible, it has been what I would call "cloying" for the week. Sounds like perfect blight weather, boo hoo. But when I treat them it blimmin' well rains! Sod's law.

[cornykev]

Hot and humid here for the past few days with with some very light showers.
