Yes.  Very much so.
Just had the lightest of showers.  I never thought I'd find myself actually wanting it to rain

It's going the wrong way, that's why!

Seems as though it's drifting towards us.

Please!

It is a very good site. it says we have 20% chance of rain in our postcode area. Thats a lot of probability! 

we had a shower!!!!!
lightest of all but there were some droplets hitting the ground

Jees, its started terrential rain here.  Havent seen it this heavy in years - the garden needed it, but not this heavy!  Just planted out my tumbling toms and sowed a nicely prepared tub of carrots yesterday - typical!  Hope it doesnt wreck things too much

Our soil is so dry and dusty now that I've had to water almost everyday. We're on a well and if it doesn't rain by the end of the weekend, we'll be saving the water from showers to take out to the garden and fruit trees. My OH is busy working on our rainbarrel system (water butts) in the hopes rain will show up soon.

We know dry, mulch mulch mulch.

Yesterday it rained practically all day here. The soil really needed it, the grass at our local park is already turning brown through lack of water.

Brown grass in summer is the norm here
