Feckin' Weather

Torrential here :zap:

fuck all here

Just had a sprinkle. Not even enough to cover a paving slab.

You need to drink more water if thats the case.

Middling here. Enough to mean I don’t have to water, not enough to flood the downstairs bog.

We’ve had no rain to speak of for over 6 weeks. Coupled with the remarkably warm and sunny weather lately the ground is so hard that when we do get some it isn’t really going to penetrate it.

Some of the smaller pools I check periodically for Phalaropes have dried up completely, we’re desperate for some prolonged rain.

Pissed it down with rain here. I got soaked going to the shops earlier. Quite refreshing actually.

We had ‘a bit’ here. Forecast said 70% likelihood at 17:00, >90% at 18:00, 85% at 19:00 and tailing off thereafter. So we waited until 19:30 to walk out. So did the rain. Nothing at all until 19:35. Then it drizzled on us all the way there and all the way back. As soon as we were back (20:00) it stopped. An hour later it came a bit more seriously for 20 mins or so, and that was it.

Hopefully the last day of scorchio in the south east.

I wonder what ridiculous time it will take the towels to turn to cardboard after they’ve been washed.

An hour? 45 minutes?

35c in the back yard right now.

Admittedly it’s a bit of a sun trap at this time of day, but.

BBC forecast for the next fortnight in Glasgow is thoroughly depressing.

Your garden will appreciate it. Wait, do you have gardens in Scotland, do plants actually grow there?

Perfectly timed for my week of annual leave starting on Monday.

31C in the shade with a stiff breeze - giant-hairdryer day. Not rained for a week.

Really heavy overcast here. I’m betting on a monsoon-like downpour in the near future. Thank feck I mowed the lawn yesterday…

If Sam didn’t work in farming I’d just be enjoying it, but they desperately need substantial rain and there’s none forecast - just a smattering Tuesday and Wednesday, and so far forecasts of smatterings have simply vanished every time.

It’s forecast to lob it down here for the next week. You are welcome to collect a few buckets full if you like.

Send it over mate!

Bet you’re glad you’re not in a badly-ventilated bus cab?!
