Yep.
Central Baff; 18mm of rain so far today* and - at 9.05pm, holding a solid 15degC outside as measured right here.
Hmm...
It's the end of October now; so 5/6 of year done. Yet today's rain has only taken us to 400mm locally this year so far, vs usu (c. over a decade) average of ~680mm ish of rain.
We bloody need this!

Heavy rain forecast for most of the day here, took a risk and went to work outside.
Had no rain whatsoever
Hoping they've got it right for a change tomorrow as a lovely sunny day is forecast.
I'm seeing a lot of people in the lowlands wishing for rain there. I'm no expert, but if it falls there it's only of use to your soil at that time.
What you need to be wishing for is some rain higher up, because that's where your tap supply comes from.

Apparently there is a thunder weather warning in place for most of England.
And it could get a bit wet.
Thunder and lightning down here on the south coast. Tops of the weather quite high which is usually a good indicator that it’s going to be a bit more than some light drizzle.And it could get a bit wet.

Just drove home from work in it. Biblical is the only description I can give. Probably the heaviest rain I've driven in ever!Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
