According to Met office radar and BBC its raining cats and dogs here I have news for them OH NO IT B***Y isn't. Were sat on the terrace watching and listening to 75th D day anniversary / reenactments down on the beach with two Spitfires and a Dakota flying around. 🐗

The weather has been dull with the threat of rain, but only a very light shower now, nothing measurable yet again. Virtually no wind and certainly not cold here either. Please, please rain tonight!
Well we got none of the rain forecast again no surprise there not sure why we have the met office or weather forecasts.
Currently clear blue skies 19.4° and rising another hot day, already been to allotment and opened up tunnel watered / damped down was 27° in there at 07.30

Weather forecast at 8am, sunny intervals, no rain (well 2% chance) all day. Hung out washing 9.30am. 9.45am heavy shower, the first of 5 up until midday 🙄. I know showers are notoriously difficult to forecast (l remember seeing them trying to explain it on Countryfile some years ago), but...grrr. Still, it's good for the garden. (Glos).
Same here Hampshire_Hog, no rain for weeks, just a few darker clouds but nothing wet. It is so dry - our water bill is going to be huge this quarter, the water butts are empty too. The sun is bright, very little wind, a lovely day really - mustn't complain....
Another grey slightly damp day couple of pathetic showers not enough to do any real good. We really need 48 hours solid rain to make up for the last 2 months of dry.
