Very windy here and cold too but not as much rain as hoped for. 9mm according to the gauge but I don't think it's working well.

It's been heavy rain overnights and heavy showers in the days for the past three days. Hail in June!!!!!

[GraciesGran]

Dry and sunny this morning but we had a reasonable amount of rain in the night. Could do with more but better than nothing

[JayG]

3mm looks like about it for today - a bit less than most days since the warm spell abruptly ended (probably had around 18mm since then - not enough, but a lot better than nothing.)

If anyone is wondering how much rain is enough to be called 'useful', it obviously depends on your soil type:

Assuming no run-off, 1" (25.4mm) of rain will only penetrate 1-2" on the heaviest clay soils, up to 15" on the sandiest, and somewhere in between for loamy soils.

17c.   clouded over now.  50% chance of rain at 5pm  Wind turning to NNE.

I was strimming on the allotments when the shower started, by the time I got home, I was drenched
5 mins later - rain stopped now weak sunshine.

Apart from a few spits and spots, we've had nothing.  I tried to plant some squash out today and the ground is solid.  Even digging down about four inches there is no sign of moisture.  Guess that's our water bill going up  then!

Mostly cloudy and cool. A couple of spits of rain but nothing of note.

[MrsPea]

we've had rain since 5 and it's still raining hopefully filling up water butts, on the whole we've had a lovely day  we took of this morning for Farnborough in surry and it's been sunshine all day, came home late afternoon to cloud 

[Goosegirl]

Very dull with a slight mizzle.

[John]

Cool but sunny with a little cloud in a blue sky! Lovely day to get things done outside

[mumofstig]

Alternating between dark and light grey sky and quite breezy from the North, so a chilly 14C.

[mrs bouquet]

patchy sky.  15c NE then N later.    We did have a good shower for about 30 mins yesterday about 5pm.

Nuisance weather which feels like the temperature has regressed to October, lots of cloud, but insignificant rain, not enough even to notice it has rained on the plot. Forecast is for a decent rainfall all day tomorrow, but they forecast that for last Wednesday and next to nothing fell, so we shall see.

Overcast and warm, no sign of anymore rain either.
