Whoopee, it has just started to rain here, the first rain since June 10th or so, and that was the first in a month, the whole lawn is brown, it was forecast to start this afternoon, but it has taken till now, and it's only a few spots atm. arh.

After the MetO's rain possible flash flood warning - we got 7.6mm  I'm hoping we get some more overnight, not holding my breath though

Well, we had rain last night, it started at 2215. I deliberately left the wheelbarrow out to see how much it collected, and I have approx 3/4" to 1"  in the bottom. So, pleased!, but the barrels are still only half full, more forecast for Friday though. Must make an accurate rain gauge, (keep saying that, but never getting round to it,  ).

It's rained all night here too. Don't know how much we've had but the bird bath's full.

We had another 22mm overnight, no watering to do today

So I guess we had about the same as you Mum, same again next week please,  .

Still on holiday in S Norfolk - yesterday afternoon a thundery deluge arrived whilst we were visiting Banham zoo, and continued until we left (early!)

When we got back to Dickleburgh, which isn't that far away, they'd barely had a drop  , although later and all night it persisted down, much to the relief of an old dear a few doors away who claimed it hadn't rained for five weeks, her water butt was empty , and she was on a water meter.    

According to my local (to Sheffield) online weather station it's been raining all day there (30mm and still counting) so no worries there as long as my friend has remembered the GH watering duties.

I know how that "old dear" feels JayG, I am in the same boat, no rain and on a water meter, with 7 water butts empty, and on "solow" tariff to add insult to injury.

Wettest 24 hours of the year here, with more to come in the next few hours. Excellent.
Now I suppose the slugs and blight will be baying at the door

It's back to sunny weather here, not a drop more has fallen, though the forecast is for some on Friday evening/night. Here's hoping,  .
