The last two days it's hit 90ºF (32ºC) - there's been no rest from the constant sun.

I'm starting to wonder whether deciding to garden in a place with no water supply was a good idea. My well has gone dry, I'm almost out of rainwater reserves and there doesn't seem to be any chance soon of naturally occurring water coming from the sky!

Another scorcher, we have had over 30 here for a good week; They are saying storms this evening, but I will have to go water I think, I have not been able to since Sunday and heaven knows what it all looks like. I have mulched and soaked well then, but...
We are expecting some showers over the next few days here, just intermittent with again very hot stormy conditions. I don't know if it will be enough though. My rain barrels are empty and I am onto the taps on the site already.

Sat with the shed door open to give a bit of shade having planted out a hundred flower plug plants. No breeze to speak of and 27 in the shade. Got to get up in a bit to water all the containers we've planted for the judges

Yay, the suns gone behind a cloud, I'm off to water, wish me luck

Sat in bed listening to the thunder and the rain watering all the plants we arranged for the judges to see today. Won't have to carry watering cans or turn the tap water on. Still warm, watch out for blight now, perfect weather for it

strawberry1 · « **Reply #691 on:** July 23, 2013, 07:47:31 »

lots of lightening at 3.30 am and thunder and a light sprinkle of rain. Doh, I was hoping for a lot more

antipodes · « **Reply #692 on:** July 23, 2013, 08:58:59 »

Finally some water! It has been raining steadily for over an hour, so hopefully the lottie will be able to have a good drink which it really needs. Very stormy although they predict the return of the hot weather tomorrow;

jimtheworzel · « **Reply #693 on:** July 23, 2013, 09:29:39 »

24c and thunder storms to day. wind south @ 6 mph, with an 80% chance of rain.

Thunder an lightening here. Gonna send Tone up to the plot with compost and let him water the GH. I don't like being out in it. At least he won't have to water the plot.

Thunderstorm early this morning and more rain through the day. Hooray! Very muggy, though. :(

Thunder rumbling in the distance all night
Woke up to the rain, thunder and lightening
A heavy down pour about 7am ish
Brightened up with the Sun coming out and really warming up
Rain again about 12.30
Muggy the rest of the day with a few light showers this evening.

Cloudy start, sunny afternoon and evening, sadly no rain.

Pescador · « **Reply #698 on:** July 24, 2013, 09:38:28 »

The 24 hours up to 22.00 Tuesday saw 63mm rain (2.5").
Haven,t been able to get to lotty yet to see what good and bad it mat have done. Got a horrible feeling the maincrop spuds may well split with the sudden wetting.
There was hail mixed in with it as well but I hope the courgettes and gherkins may have escaped too much damage.

jimtheworzel · « **Reply #699 on:** July 24, 2013, 11:24:16 »

Poured down last evening but no thunder temp now is 71f
