johhnyco15:
yesterday was our first rain for 8-9 weeks however it was very light and only lasted for a couple of hours all the grass verges are turning brown and its only the second week in june

We have had 216cm of rain since the drought broke in mid December which, round here, equates to 2 years' worth of rain. Not complaining and the plants are clearly loving it.
In the preceding 15 months we had 23.5cms. Much crispiness and brown stuff.

we had about 10 min by the time i brought something into the house it had stopped were supposed to get quiet a bit over the next two days but i am not holding out any hope.
Beersmith:
A peculiar story in my location. A few wet days but overall some lengthy dry spells. So counting up dry days - yes a dry period. Except that one very stormy weekend an intense storm delivered considerably more than a months rainfall in about three hours. So total rain as measured by the rain gauge probably a bit above average. But so unbalanced not really very helpful to growers.
Digeroo:
Nothing in the night but a few spot about an hour ago, which joined up but only just. Had hoped for more. My raspberries need a little help to fatten up nicely. There are still a few showers on the radar over Wales but I do not expect much from them. Our next possible Saturday though I will not hold my breathe.
We had quite a few heavy T-storms a couple of weeks ago so everything still very green here. It came just at the right time for my blackcurrants.
But I dug some holes to plant out some beans and courgettes and it was as dry as a bone to the bottom of the hole.
