WHAT'S YOUR WEATHER LIKE - 2022

We, finally, received some damp stuff - 10 minutes of drizzle.

Not property damage but I've noticed one part of a now extinct lawn is starting to subside. That area has not got brown grass that would come back quickly like the rest of the grass will. It is now bare ground, about 20' x 30', cracks all over it and noticeably undulating where our soakaway pipes for the cess pool runs.

 

Good morning its a little overcast still warm and dry

 

Overcast 18c, looks like it could rain soon.

 

Sun's out now, no sign of rain. 23C. I get the feeling we are going to miss all the showers that are circulating.

We have a hosepipe ban from 24th Aug (includes our allotment site too) - good old Thames Water :(

 

Nothing I have noticed @Retired - although we had higher than normal air temperatures it's not that different to an average summer here, we often have a few days of very bright sunshine where I record even higher temperatures inside the greenhouse than recently. We have one flat roof over an extension south facing, the felt had bubbled in a couple of spots, somehow air must have got between the felt and the deck underneath. A few weeks back I fixed that plus a leak around a velux window (I think). I just hope it remains watertight when we do finally get a thunderstorm, the velux only leaked if the wind was in a certain direction so must have been blowing rain up the pitch past the flashing.
