Posting this here as unsure where to put it - would really like some rain, but still none forecast. Shall be doing rain dance tonight ;D

Oh no ---not more dancing. I can't possibly rain dance any more.How about a communal rain think instead? ;D ;D

Earlier this evening I suddenly heard rain. Oh dear car outside with windows wide open. Dashed out (so that was a waste of money having my hair done this morning ;D) Didn't care my shorts and top were wet but we had rain at last.. It was quite heavy for a few minutes then nothing. It is now stickier than before the short rain!!
Oh well. Has to be the rain dance again.

Yippee. We have rain, don't know how long it has been raining as I didn't get up until late (bad night).. It is still very warm, still have fan going but at least it is wet out there. Just heard thunder in the distance.

We've had rain here for the last three hours, heavy and thunder to start then gentler afterwards.... the dancing or thinking seems to be working, keep up the good work!
;D

We had rain but ground still not wet enough. Still can't believe I look forward to rain now.

The forecast for Saturday was early rain clearing and brighter later.
Spot on so went to a beer festival. Got soaked inside & out.
Stair rods & nice steady rain for about 5 hrs.
Checked the soil this morning & it's bone dry 2" down!

Louring loominous clouds this morning, now a gentle pitta patta ... will it stay?

;D supersprout -- love 'loominous'!

Metcheck says we're due for the odd three or four mm here later but all that'll do is bring out the slugs >:(

supersprout · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26, 2006, 13:31:21 »

ty triffid, sadly prayers were in vain, it all petered out after 30 mins >:( :'( :'(

Well Metcheck is telling us it is raining, but it looks like blue skies and heat to me ...

supersprout · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2006, 13:40:45 »

Yes curry, we are getting 5.1cm at the moment, but I can't see it. Must be the heat ;)

It's obviously evaporating before it reaches the ground. I notice the the thunderstorms the Met Office website was promising seem to have evaporated as well. It was supposed to be a bit cooler today as well, but it's not noticeable.

Emagggie · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2006, 16:18:23 »

We are wilting in Wakering wishing we were wet---fat chance :(

triffid · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2006, 16:24:03 »

All right, who's pinched our rain?

Metcheck clearly says I'm standing in 5.4mm of precipitation but it's NOT HERE: this is happening to other people too.

It's bad enough nicking other people's sugarsnaps but this is beyond the ~~pale~~ pail >:( ;)

supersprout · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2006, 17:51:41 »

;D ;D ;D
~~pale~~ pail - clever triffs!

7 whole spots fell in West Yorkshire this morning on my way to work ...

Tinkie_Bear · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2006, 19:21:27 »

Metcheck promisses me nearly 20mm tomorrow, I have 4 empty waterbuts and am begining to think I am praying to the wrong god as the villages all around us have had rain but none here :-( I have come to the conclusion that Metcheck lies, I will wait to be proven wrong (keeping fingers crossed before hubby gets the water bill .........)
