The weather TODAY in...

[pigeonseed]

Hello we live in east sussex it rained today

Me too - whereabouts are you, happygardner? (Your profile says somewhere near Banbury - have you got plans to extend the borders of Sussex's empire?  ;))

I'd like to know what a butterfly roof is too - it doesn't sound good in a downpour  :-[

A butterfly roof was the Victorian builder's cheapscate idea to make a house look grander than it really was.  From the street the roof can't be seen but a bird's eye view shows that the roof runs down towards a central gully.  It is the gully that causes the problems in a downpour - we are on our fourth fix in 20 years.  Now saving our pennies for a fibre-glass version - if it works for boat hulls............ in the meantime, a bucket is on constant stand-by :-[

A downpour this afternoon, funny enough as the schools were coming out, I got drenched on the way home, thats even with an umbrella.   :o

A good down pour here about 4ish for an hour,  sunshinning at the moment.  Cherrys on tree ripening, wont be long before the starlings appear  ::)

[Digeroo]

So you are hogging all the rain again Taurus.   ;D   Just a few minutes of light shower here.  But there is a promising blob on the radar.   So I might be tempted to do a little rain dance.

Weirdly warm in Croydon - lots of fluffy coluds scudding overhead, but no rain.

It's been bucketing down since about 5 am here in North Wales. Not complaing, the plot seriously needs it ! We had snow 2 days ago, full sun all day yesterday, Wonder what else it will throw at us ?  :-\

[Lottiman]

Started raining here at 7 just carried on with jobs at the plot and got wet it was nice to see the rain ;D

[Digeroo]

Finally it is raining.  Yippee.    Started just after 7 am I was down at lottie until 8 when it became rather more persistant.  Been at it all day but so far only half an inch.  I think the grass has already grown a few inches.
