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.

[The Dogmother]

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.

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]

Raining hard here now with the odd rumble of thunder.

[Groovychook]

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!

[The Dogmother]

Torrential now and really rocking with thunder

[soapdragon]

The wretched washing has been in and out three times now....I give up! Even heavy rain from a blue sky (how is that possible!?) Very breezy but no thunder...DM send it our way please as its muggy too!

 

Had planned to cut masses of bay (which has gone mad recently) and take it round to the pub who use loads but can't cut it when wet...doh!

[Purplemaniacs]

Torrential now and really rocking with thunder

DM, have you sent it our way?

 

It has gone very dark and is thundering, the wind has got up too but no rain so far.

I think it was heading your way Chrissie

 

Cool now, have warm gilet on, and the thunder has stopped for now.

[sjp]

going by the lack of wind at the moment the centre of the storm is over here most have had the best part of an inch of rain since noon-ish just had 2 very big showers in the last 15-20 minutes it was 1 an hour earlier no fun we I'm trieng to lift and shift 30+ paving slabs across mud

[soapdragon]

Still showery here but forecast for thunder etc in a few hours. Made it to the pub with the bay leaves!

[Purplemaniacs]

It didn't come to anything here just a few spots of rain. I have to go into town in an hour or so, I bet it is waiting for me

We've had rain over night but it's dry now. 17deg in the shade, cool and cloudy with the promise of sun after lunchtime.

[Patricia W]

Drizzly rain in Abingdon and breezy. It's the first time I've worn a coat taking the dog out for weeks.

[The Dogmother]

Is bucketting here now

[Groovychook]

Lovely evening last night but dull, drizzly & cool this morning.

[The Dogmother]

The rain has nearly stopped and it's brightening up now... here comes the sun!

[chickencam]

We have had quite a sunny morning, I have even got washing out, but as soon as I pushed my luck by putting another load in the machine it began to cloud over.

[The Dogmother]

You'll be getting our rain then Liz - sunny here now

[soapdragon]

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........

[Angie]

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.

[The Dogmother]

Been raining most of the day here, but sunnier since about 3pm and no more rain, allegedly it will be sunny from tomorrow onwards.

[chickencam]

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.
