soapdragon Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 It's raining but not exactly pouring. The old man isn't snoring but says he's not watering this evening! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Raining here now too - at least enough to wet the grass and do the watering for this evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 It's been cool and drizzle-ous here all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 MUCH cooler here today - just 8deg when we got up. Thunder and torrential hail here now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie&Moose Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 It's raining really heavily here now, after a day of showers, drizzle and the odd clap of thunder and a few lovely sunny spells - crazy weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ran into heavy rain just after leaving you, and ended up with really heavy hail again as we came back into town. Here are a few photos of the hail from earlier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Goodness to the hail. Must live in the frozen North!! We just have rain but was doubled up to 14 degrees from 7 yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie&Moose Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 That's impressive hail - we didn't have any of that yesterday evening. Hope your veggies survived ok DM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullethunter Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Absolute monsoon style downpour at lunchtime today. One and a third of my series of two water buts filled on Saturday, so yesterday I emptied a whole one into the pond. In an hour over lunchtime today the empty one filled along with all but the top 4 inches of the second one. It was so heavy it’s washed away a load of tarmac on the road outside our house!

The Dogmother Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 After a really lovely day, we have heavy rain and thunder. Looking at the radar map, there's a band of them moving up past us. Plenty of storms in mainland Europe too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Cold and grey for the last few days. We have the heating back on! That’s enough rain now - summer can come back please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Ditto. This house is colder indoors than it is outdoors! Misty today. Watched the bands of stormy weather going up the country. We just had a huge blob. I think the swirly whirly has descended along the French coast and either we have another one or it's been pushed up and the swirly is now between the south west here and the south coast of Ireland. Totally fed up with the erratic changes of weather - last week was shorts and skirt! This week I'm jumpered up and my hands are still cold!

The Dogmother Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I was cold last week, but back on shorts yesterday. This morning was clear and bright with a steam rising of the land, so beautiful. It has clouded up a bit now and is cooler, but I have indoors work to do, so not too much of a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Very warm outside. The blooming swirly centre is slap bang off Lands End! So I expect rain will hit later - says 31% chance of storm. Meh! Go away had enough rain! But as it is supposed to be nice in between I'm off up to The Killing Field to finish off my plantings and get more veg in. I have run out of room in the greenhouse!

mullethunter Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Not a lot on the radar Valkyrie - think we might be more or less OK today 🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Agree - the swirly whirly has opened up so we are getting lots of sunshine. Very hot out there too - been prepping more veggie beds and planted more squash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Our bank of cloud dropped some rain and the sky is now blue again... I need to finish some freelance work and get out there to break up pallets and make a shelf for my wood store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I need to order some more wool compost - I need the pallets! Rare finds otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 No rain for two weeks now and things are somewhat brown, with trees shedding leaves already. Bad news today is it will be HOT; 38C and full sunshine means we will have to water all the runs this morning. Due a repeat on Friday with thunderstorms in-between, so debris netting going back over the tomatoes. Sometimes I miss English weather.

Valkyrie Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 You won't want to be here at the moment. Tornado in Northampton on Friday and very iffy weather over the weekend. Today is another tornado warning (Friday's warning was very misplaced as it was supposed to be on the south east side of the country) and this time north east of the Midlands, so possibly Herefordshire, Warwickshire and further up. There have been storms overnight and seem to be mainly going up the Bristol Channel, so Weston and Cardiff, and even further east from there. Tiverton again had storms - we had them on Friday too. The rain overnight was heavy and the wind lashes it against the windows so very loud! And it is still lashing down. Apparently the tourists arrived in hoards this weekend. They haven't had much sun, probably no sleep in a caravan and I hope the tents are well tethered or they'll be blown to Gloucestershire!

soapdragon Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 ES and a friend are camping...we took them yesterday (just the next village but a lovely campsite) and we got the tents up in the dry but woke up this morning to heavy rain and soaked ground. It must have been pouring all night. They are there til 12 tomorrow so I have texted to ask if they want picking up then dropping back later. They had planned to walk....ES has brand new boots too!! It still feels muggy though........but there is a breeze so hopefully that will dry things up a bit. No doubt the garden will go nuts after this soaking!

The Dogmother Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 It is bucketing here too Soapy - I waited for it to abate so I could take the dogs out and it promptly started up again. Looks to be brightening though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
