Monsoon here in West London ;D. Of course at 3.15, when I pick up the kids from school!

It's been raining here in Wiltshire for most of the day. It is falling at a steady rate now but has been really heavy at times. I am so pleased that everything will have had a good soak.
I will send it up to East Anglia overnight for you poor souls who are so desperate for it there. ;D ;D

I'm sorry, but I don't think it should go via anywhere, olease send direct if you could - I am your favourite Niece after all!
I decided to make it rain up here, I put on a suntop, and went for a drive with the roof down on the car - a sure way to start a thunderstorm - but nothing-not one little drop!

I'll be doing a rain dance next at this rate. We had some drizzle this afternoon, which didn't even wet the garden. The weather's much pleasanter, but the floodgates of heaven are obstinately refusing to open.

I see Metcheck have postponed our deluge till tomorrow. They've developed a tantalising habit of forecasting heavy rain which never materialises. It's got to the stage now when I won't be happy till I see animals passing by in pairs.

He is in Old Street Svea, and I spoke to my Uncle who was waiting for a train at Baker Street and he said not a drop had fallen!
Had a very very light shower this morning whilst I was working, just enough to dampen down the dust on the paving, but it was dry before the rain had stopped! Then on the school run, at least 8 drops hit the windscreen before the sun came out again! I am doing voluntary work at school tomoz taking a class of 30 over to Priory Arch, a local monument, to do observational drawing...would rather it didn't rain then, and after I am popping to the allotment for a couple of hours, so would rather it didn't rain then. Tonight would be lovely please, then again tomorrow night. Many thanks! ;D

A4A is possibly the best weather forcaster, at least we can get a pattern of what is going on in the weather world in our posts ::) slightly better than sticking a wet finger out of the window ;D Metcheck a waste of space, Beeb comes a close 2nd. :P ;D
We have had a sprinkling of rain but not enough to cover all of the dry spots. ::)

Still living in hope.... ;)

I feel sorry for you guys, I was not gloating - honest (well just a tiny bit perhaps :) )! But the amount of rain that fell this morning seemed enough for the whole country. Manhole covers were lifted, and currently I am sat here in bare feet, as I had to wade into town at lunchtime through 12 inches of flooding ! Hope you are put out of your parched misery soon enough ...

Still no measurable rain here though it has looked likely several times. We have had nothing since the wet spell some six? weeks ago, but a couple of days ago a village eight miles away was flooded by the torrential downpour. :(

At last summer has arrived in the Scot. Borders. A hot day with a coolish breeze blowing. What more can a gal ask for?
