chickencam Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 We had nearly an inch of rain last night, then a mostly sunny warm day, with a few showers late in the afternoon and it is raining a bit at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Haven't checked the water butts yet, but no need to water the garden for the next few days Cloudy and cool start, but sunny and breezy now, 21.5deg in the shade here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charly1979 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 We have a thunder storm and heavy rain but it does mean the garden doesn't need watering and I don't need to do my neighbours either the weather seems to have affected my kids they are happily baking and NOT making a mess ???

The Dogmother Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Raining hard here now with the odd rumble of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Heavy showers yesterday and today but no thunder Feels quite muggy though and it's very warm when the sun pokes through. I'm enjoying the rest from watering the garden although I'll soon be complaining when the slugs and snails have started tucking into my veg!

soapdragon Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 After a wet morning (and skies which looked as though they would stay dull all day) its brightened up to the extent that the washing is now on the line........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Still raining. Getting fed up, as soon as the schools break up this is all we get . We are braving the showers and going camping . We just want to get away from home for a few days, so as long as it is light showers we are going. The storms and thunder of this last week have been awful , floods on the tops (todmorden as usual.) I expect the rain will cease first week of September when the schools open again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 We have had dark threatening clouds but only a couple of sharp showers today, it has been horribly muggy and warm though, like a damp warm blanket outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
