I am getting some proper steady rain now. If I could hear it hitting the sunlounge roof (not in the form of hailstones though!) , I will be well pleased.

That's great @alp
The only thing now is that everything is wet and i can't pick any fruit. The blackberries go over quickly. Never satisfied are we.:ROFLMAO:

It's a shame that they failed to predict rain. I picked all my blueberries the day before yesterday as they predicted rain. I remember there was not a single bitter cherry left in my neighbour's tree AFTER rain, so I take this lesson very seriously. You could pick them and spread them out. I'd rather have rain. You should have been my lawn and plants - cracks, bald patches and wilting and dying plants.

A distinctly cooler day. The window panes retain some rain droplets, but the ground has begun to dry up

Hopefully, rain for whoever needs it!

We had one rumble and sleet and obviously one big gust which snapped my Salvia Amistad!

Well it has reached 37C, it could go higher in the next couple hours before cooling down. A very cold shower before I go to bed tonight.

37c certainly calls for a very cold shower! We moaned like hell for 33c and some Brits go to Greece, Portugal or Spain for 38c ...

See the drop! I am waiting for hotter weather to wash my boots .. Need hot weather for cleansing and DRYING! Need to find out where to store my water and how to reduce evaporation. I admire the man with 18 water butts.

Much less rain than predicted. Disappointed really.

Very grey and ground still wet from last night's rain. Not raining now, sadly.
