Sticky and thundery here too @Allotment Boy … but not a single drop ….
Similar over here in the West of England Dove. Weekend forecast was heavy rain and thunder. Reality was no rain and one rumble of thunder in the distance.
Over in the rest of Norfolk and Suffolk there've been floods ... apparently ...
There are rumours that some of the deluges that affected the Essex end of the A12 and London were triggered by the pollution caused by nose to tail traffic jams of London-based SUVs returning from Latitude ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
We could do with some of that rain up here please! The rain that was forecast for the weekend never materialised. Small chance of some tomorrow but I'll believe it when I see it
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I was watching the E-prix from the O2 in London yesterday afternoon. Dry there but apparently about 3 miles away it was pouring with rain. With so little wind at the moment there can be quite sharp demarcation lines between rain and no rain. Years ago we were on holiday in Hawaii and it was literally pouring down on one side of the street and bone dry on the other.
I know many here aren't interested in any sports coverage, and that's fine. However, I don't think it unreasonable for those who are paid to do the broadcasts to get things right. When commentating live on an event the odd slip up is to be expected, but not from those basically chatting in the studio. So far I've been informed that GB has won gold in 'Mountain Climbing' instead of 'Mountain Biking' and numerous references to England rather than GB.
Yes @Hostafan1. They should be called United Kingdom as that does include all 4 nations.
I read somewhere that Ptolemy was the first to make written reference to Great Britain - meaning what is now the mains island of the British isles (England, Scotland, Wales now) - and Little Britain meaning Ireland.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
