Commiserations - it's 16C here and very light drizzle started half an hour ago.

On the rain radar it looks as if we may miss the worst of it....

I spoke too soon  ::) had 36mm in half an hour. It was overflowing the gutters and flooded the back yard and the front path! Put it this way - I'm glad it stopped before it got any deeper :ohmy:

Ghastly, unbelievably so for the time of year - only 12C and it's been drizzling continuously since dawn.  :(

Hasn't stopped raining today for a single minute, and the temperature hasn't risen above 12C.

Keep telling myself that at least I'm not 'enjoying' a soggy August holiday in the UK with my wife and kids, which makes me feel a bit better (but not much!  :lol:)

Hardly able to cope with the heat but worried about the lack of rain.

Very cloudy but they've promised a dry day with sunny intervals. It's hardly warm though at 14º rising to a peak of 16ºC

Having rained continuously for 27 hours (total 40mm) it's now stopped, although it's very grey, and only 12C with a northerly breeze.

The band of rain responsible for it all now seems to be trundling away to the south west - it's good to share!  ;)

Ahaa it's brightening up enough. Not a good fortnight to take the roof of your house is it?

 :ohmy: That is bad timing  :( Good luck!

It's been sunny and warm 'til now  8)  The forecast rain won't be long now, by the look of the sky..

Derek the Welsh BBC weatherman was positively gleeful last night when he pointed out that southern England would be wet when Wales was dry. You could almost see him thinking - "At last, we get the better weather"
