We have had a dampening during the night.   It is supposed to be raining now for the next few hours, but there is nothing of the sort on the radar.  There is another blob over Brittany but it will take at least 4 hours and by then the sun will be up to burn it of, and like yesterdays storms will produce only a few spits and spots.

Looks like it's a non-event here as well. Less than 1mm yesterday, a merely a few drips overnight.
I'd already planned a day in the kitchen making Mango chutney as they're half-price at the moment, so the weeds are safe for another day!

Rain started falling steadily just before 6am and lasted 3 hours, unlike the night before when we had 2 10 minute downpours along with the sound effects.   16mm of rain which is great and it's 20C now so very comfy for sanding some furniture and then oiling planks for some new raised beds.

It is going to hammer down this week as it is the I.W. Pop Festival this week and they are not happy unless they are up to their waist in mud  ;). I never went out today as heavy rain was forecast but nothing has happened yet apart from it getting windy. But it was a bit hot over the weekend, I went a bit wobbly with the heat on Saturday, my own fault by going too near that London place, should have stayed with the sea breeze.

Rain, some heavy bursts which are filling the water butts nicely, and very blustery winds.

It's like a return to winter here, driving rain, garden furniture moving on it's own, light and heating on in the house!!

Heavy rain on and off all day, and pretty strong winds.

Nasty day here in London - sudden vicious guts of wind, horizontal torrential rain, branches and debris all over the place - nice day for a bike ride.  Now the sun is out - tempted to go to the plot to access to damage but got some road debris in eye and cant see properly!
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!

French beans stripped of leaves, runners unwrapped from sticks, onions all with 45deg list, random pots and trays strewn across the entire area.If it was easy, anybody could do it.

Another very wet morning, driving rain, grey skies. The wind has dropped, but is still blustery and squally when the heavier rain hits.  Garden is littered with leaves and small branches from the last couple of days storms, put the heating on in the house for a little yesterday evening it was so miserable and cold!
