Same here @purplerallim. Water butts have been empty for weeks so OH has taken the opportunity to clean them and fix connections ready for the next rain. We have 2.4mm forecast on Wednesday. We'll see.
Meanwhile we're filling buckets with water used for washing veggies or run off while waiting for hot water to come thru and that gets dumped on needy things like hydrangeas and recently planted clematis and shrubs. It takes them about 4 years here to get their roots down deep enough to cope.
This autumn there'll be a lot of mulching goiing on tp make things better next year.

I don't think it's broken as such just leaking air over 3 days. I'm hoping we won't have another heat wave longer than that!!!! But only 16 drops of rain today after being promised downpours and storms!!!!

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Anyone else awake?
I don't know what the humidity level is here, but we have had some light rain and it does feel muggy outside.
