ITS Raining..!!

I live in solighull in the west mids and dont think we have had rain yet. My nice new deck looked slightly damp this morning but my washing on the line was dry so maybe it was just dew. There was a lot of thunder last night but no water! Temp here at the mo has dropped a bit but no rain so far. Considering my garden is clay i am suprised at how well its coping. The soil and plants all seem ok and i havent watered the garden itself that often. The grass is practically non existant though. The odd green patch but mainly completely dead with no grass at all.

 

I'm in Lincolnshire and we had some rain last night but it hasn't done a lot of good its bone dry again now and like everyone else, what I used to call a lawn, is in dire need of some water.

 

its going cloudy here again well i can hope for more rain..tonight we desperately need it..

 

WE HAVE JUST HAD EXACTLY 20 MINUTES OF RAIN IT WAS WONDERFULL..I WAS SLEEPING DOWNSTAIRS AS ITS TOO HOT UPSTAIRS AND COULD HEAR RAIN THOUGHT I WAS DREAMING..BUT ITS CLEARED THE AIR A BIT..I HEARD WE WERE HAVING STORMS TODAY PLEASE BRING THEM ON AS HEAVY AS POSSIBLE...!1WILL HAVE TO GO AND HAVE ANOTHER FIDDLE ON THE MET OFFICE SITE..

 

Same here wildflower, I wasn't awake for it but when i did wake it felt lovely and fresh and everything looks a bit wet.

 

no rain here these past couple of days we have had glorius weather, looks like another great day today the sun is shining and it is warm

 

But don't you want a bit of rain rosa?

 

No rain here since 6th July. Thermometer hitting 30+ every day. Living up to my birth sign of Aquarius the Water Carrier

 

We too had heavy rain this morning before 5am.Our 2 cats decide to jump all over us with wet fur
The sun is now out and it is hot already and the day hasn't started yet.

Horbeam: Water carrier!, now we are in the age of Aquarious, perhaps that accounts for the weather then? :D :D

wildflower: I bet you were! :D :D

 

We had torrential rain at 2.30am this morning, along with some very impressive lighting and loads of rumbling thunder. I haven't seen rain like it for a long time, it woke me up and even set off my car alarm. The air is a bit clearer today from it, and the grass looks happy, a bit greener than yesterday. Haven't inspected my pots yet, shouldn't have bothered watering them last night!

 

stingo, dont want rain at the moment we have had enough bad weather on the coast, makes a lovely change having a few good days here.

 

so hornbeam is ruled by uranus ..the original sky god who was the son and husband of gaia the earth...so come on hornbeam send us some rain..!!!
