The Dogmother Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I know it's been getting dark earlier of late, but this is ridiculous; it's as dark now as it normally is around 9pm. Wonder if we're due thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The Leeds revellers will be soaked tonight , it is pouring out there. Very cool too, verging on the edge of cold . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Well, they did predict it in the papers yesterday... besides it's not a festival unless you get soaked, cold and muddy! We've had some rain here but not the downpours I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'm playing my first round of golf today and it's fairly dark just now and the forecast is vile. Was supposed to be light rain but now it's for heavy rain and some thunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 I woke to rain, must have been heavy in the night too, seems to be a bit brighter now though. Sunday is supposed to be the best day this weekend; I want to go to the Warks and West Midlands game Fair, so we'll probably go on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 We've had some very heavy downpours here this week. Absolutely bucketing it down at the moment. Very cross that my lovely french bean and courgette harvest has been devoured by slugs overnight Tomorrow is meant to be our best day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 We had an open day at the archery club and we had sun (only a lttile), rain, loads of it, torrential at times, hail, thunder and lightening. The field that normally drains well was flooded. We had about 75 people having a go which was brilliant considering the weather. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 We had rumbles of thunder later this afternoon, with torrential showers too. No storms overhead, although they were heading towards LBB's neck of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yesterday we had a mini thunderstorm - around 3 claps close by but we were on the edge - methinks the east of here had it much, much worse. Torrential rain accompanied it (white-out). Luckily the cricket was in Wales so we enjoyed HAMPSHIRE THE CHAMPS!!! In the warmth and comfort of indoors! We were on the edge of quite a few downpours, always the east had the really ominous black clouds. This morning is really sunny - our first and probably the only bbq of the year with the in-laws coming. Bleh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 It's lovely here too, bright and clear first thing, a few clouds now but no rain forecast and the air pressure is going up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Lovely day - BBQ went well. Rain clouds drawing in towards the late afternoon - but we'd finished then and were ready to go indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think it's on the way up here - weather that is, not the cat. Sunny with a cool breeze first thing but it's getting increasingly windy and overcast... just looked out of the window and it;'s raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
