    We were forecast to have thunderstorms from yesterday evening until Thursday with a variety of rain from light to very heavy.

    So far we have had no thunderstorms, ten minutes of drizzle around 5 a.m. and the forecast is now possible light rain today and tomorrow.

    The garden is suffering from lack of wet stuff (it's now difficult digging out weeds and the Veronicastrums are all drooping) so I have been out watering. I think I'll get the sprinkler out of the shed. That should get the rain to start. :heehee:

                  Probably floating, it looked like it was bucketing down over that way yesterday.

                    Torrential rain on and off all day ,but we have had a couple of short breaks which enabled a few things to get done outside. 21C . The weather warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms has now been extended ,it was suppose to end around lunchtime.

                    Tomorrow looks slightly better with more dry spells than wet ones , albeit a cooler day of 19C.

                      Light rain when we had to do the walks, as soon as we came in it stopped and not very warm.

                        Sun came out around 3pm and the temperature shot up to 24c for a while.
                        Bit cloudier now but still bright.

                            It rained in the night and early morning, but everything is bone dry. I think it evaporated as it hit the ground.
                            We've had lots of dark clouds today but also lots of sunny spells, and it became very warm in those spells :SUNsmile::phew: :SUNsmile:
                            but it isn't so nice now this evening, much fresher ...

                                All winter long we dream of sitting out in our gardens on a lovely summer's evening ,sipping a refreshing ice cold drink while watching the sun set....not under an umbrella with a mug of hot chocolate while watching a thunderstorm.!! ( the damp is making it feel cooler)
