Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Rona]

We've had a thunderstorm crashing and flashing overhead for about an hour now. There is no wind so its not blowing over. It was lovely and sunny when I finished work at 2pm but by the time I got home it was chucking it down.

 

The girls are feeling neglected as they can see I am in but there is no way I am going up the garden to see them in this! We live fairly high up (well high for Norfolk) so no fear of flooding for us but I hope those of you in low lying places are not getting it.

Here in Warwickshire its a mixture of sunny spells with big white fluffy clouds. The weather over the weekend was really just when you thought it was safe to go out and start something it would chuck it down really, really heavily.

 

Roll on Summer!!

[Egluntyne]

Simply gorgeous just now....but this morning when I was in Waitrose it was sleeting

 

Very mixed over the last week really.

It's the pits here in London It's really cold and has been raining on and off all weekend. The forecast for the rest of the week is depressing more rain and lower temps.

warm sunny intervals followed quickly by sharp downpours of rain or hail.

 

I've had my washing out for most of the day but it is still not dry and the wind is cold. The sunny intervals are lovely but short lived, it rains every time my YD decides to put her cycling helmet back on and go outside

[Chicken Licken]

sunshine, black clouds and torrential april showers - got soaked quite literally to the skin whilst wrestling with a wheelchair earlier. That was before lunch and my trouser legs have still not dried out (then again could have got wet again on bus duty this afternoon

[Mrs Frugal]

Sunshine and showers today. Mostly sunny though.

[Chicken Licken]

heavy showering again now! Good for the veggies though I suppose

[ali-s]

A lovely day here today, sunshine, blue skies and quite warm. Of course today was my first day back at work having 3 weeks holiday

 

Holiday weather was pants, snow, hailstorms, windy and raining

[Charlottechicken]

We have had sunshine and showers on and off here. More sunshine than showers but it looks like the showers have settled in for the night

[hillfamily]

Glorious sunshine and Hail Storms

 

The poor girls have spent the day sunbathing one minute and running for cover from the hail the next. I think they have been a bit confused

[abwsco]

It's been lovely and sunny here today, Was yesterday as well although there was a cold wind when I was timber treating all the wood for my coop and run. I needed these on

[Lesley]

Mostly sunny, some showers and a cold wind.

 

A lovely white frost this morning - and sunshine!

[chelsea]

[Louise]

[susanbb]

[Guest]

 

Snow showers when we woke up, with more forecast for the afternoon.

[Ana's flock]

Sunshine, hailstorms, blue sky, snow, dry and then chocking it down... one minute I'm in the garden wearing a T-shirt, next I'm indoors worrying about whether the chooks are frozen yet... typical spring weather really...

[chickencam]

A really gorgeous morning here, sunny with clear blue sky, but we had a sharp frost last night. The rain we had last thing was frozen in hard lumps to the Eglu this morning.

[BarbaraJ]

Lovely and sunny this morning but cloudy now

[Keanie Bean]

[freddie]

Sunny Devon, bit nippy though,had to s"Ooops, word censored!"e the windscreen this morning.....

Of course the weather will be good today, as I'm indoors, painting(STILL>>>)

[muzzie]

Looking forward to this week supposed to be warming up and dry it's been so cold and wet we are below freezing every night. Our spring bulbs are up and should bloom in about a week or 10 days if we get the warmer weather and sun. We are quite high and don't have problems with flooding but because of the rain and snow melt there is a flood watch for most of the area. ahh spring

[chickencam]

Took the children to the local shops for a mooch around the charity shops and second hand book shop and it was glorious , but within 45 minutes it was really dark and started to rain just as we got home. My fault I put some washing out just after lunch

[chelsea]

we really have been spoilt with some super weather down here in Devon all week. Just lovely blue skies and sunshine.

 

Makes me very happy when the sun is out
