We had heavy rain forecast for last night, but not one drop fell. It is more than three weeks since the last drop. Even the sun flowers are beginning to droop.

All the showers forecast for the rest of the week have disappeared as well. Just hot hot hot.

But on the bright side my tomatoes love it and looks like being a reasonable week for my daughters hols in the Lakes,

Who had my rain?

It was a heavy and humid day yesterday in Whitley Bay and late afternoon it absolutely bucketed down, and continued on and off for the rest of the evening. The ground is well soaked this morning. busy_lizzie

Metcheck keeps promising rain, but the weather hasn't delivered.

Well in my case it will be up to the lotty before work for a good watering, got to keep that Sweetcorn right, but there is rumour that thunder storms are on the horizon, :)

cant wait, was forced to hand water it all, took an hour >:(

I feel like the slave of all the buckets.

We had a few drops this afternoon, a rubble of thunder and a rainbow, but as soon as the water reached the ground it evaporated again. And it was about 30 C.

We have had hardly any rain since Feb.

We had rain early this morning enough so everything was damp when we got up and then a very hot sticky day and a 20-30 min heavy downpour at 6.30 this evening.

Sorry Digeroo :)

Hoping for rain tomorrow. The rain misses us here, you can see it raining in the distance.

The heavens have opened and I hope they stay that way all night to fill my water butts and give my poor raised beds a good drink!
