          We have just got some, very, light rain. It started half an hour ago and has been drizzling since then. The forecast says it will continue until 7 p.m. I hope the quantity increases somewhat.

                  Still raining steadily in Canterbury. Probably same at home. That'll be good for the garden.

                        I think the rain might clear in the next hour or so, its feels cold with it and a cold night forecasted.

                            I'm also up by that time, at the latest. :blue thumb:

                            We have, finally, got proper rain so I hope it will continue for the rest of the day - but not for 40 nights and 40 days. :rolleyespink:

                                Too true! We are 35c now at 5 o'clock and all the weather stations say we are 30c No rain for August and not promising for September. Only 19mm in June. But I live in hope.!
