17C and chucking it down. Estimate is over 1" since 9am

After 2 days of lovely sun, we had 17mm of rain and it's not exactly summer. Wind's just got up now which is not great. Decided to close up the polytunnel and greenhouse, just in case the wind gets stronger. Just started closing the tunnel doors when the heaven's opened - rain and a bit of hail. Despite running back I'm soaked

It was a very hazy but bright morning which gradually clouded over with a sprinkle of rain late afternoon. It's turned quite cool this evening, compared to the last few weeks, even the cat didn't stay out for long 

Really beginning to notice the nights drawing in 

[JayG]

Wetter (heavy rain) and cooler (17C) than forecast - when the weather is changeable I find it more useful looking at the rain radar than the forecasts if I'm planning a spot of outdoor activity.

[mumofstig]

Local weather station says it's 18C out there - sure don't feel like it!

It's been grey all day, with just some lighter grey, and light showers now and again.

same here Mum, but without the showers, (they'll be along shortly, by the look of the sky, )

After rain on and off yesterday afternoon, it absolutely poured down in the evening and overnight.  The sun is just about out now, but everything is soaked out there.

[JayG]

Reasonably bright now but just under half an inch of rain in about two hours overnight (hands up those who were almost praying for rain a few weeks ago!      )

[Goosegirl]

Very variable, as in one minute it's sunny, next minute it's throwing it down! 

[AlaninCarlisle]

It's been a lovely sunny, fresh day up here. Rain threatened a couple of times but never amounted to much and apart from meal-times I've been outside all day. Perfect

[chillimummy]

Lovely here. Dry and sunny with few spots of rain.
Managed all afternoon at plot.

Very variable, as in one minute it's sunny, next minute it's throwing it down! 

Same for us. Just as well really since I spent the morning sorting out papers (research for a possible book) and was hijacked at gunpoint this afternoon "Take this car to Wilkos!" What's a chap to do?

[JayG]

Just had a heavy 'April' shower, falling at a rate of 125mm (5") per hour according to my local weather station.

Luckily it only lasted a few minutes, although that was long enough to deposit nearly 1/3rd of an inch on my garden, which is already quite moist enough thankyou! 

[John]

Just watched the weather forecast.. what's the number for Samaritans? 

[John]

So this is August
It's raining again
Heavy grey skies, drizzle to heavy rain, 14ºC, winds moderate but gusting at points.
