    Original plan today was a big 100 mile road ride, Derby down to Cannock and back. Given all the forecasts for torrential rain today that was binned last night in favour of something shorter, local and with lots of cafes to bail into come Rainageddon.

    Now looking out at a bone dry world, admittedly very sticky and humid. Who has got my rain then this morning?

    Damp and sticky in Lancs but no rain. Pity our poor school cyclists who are doing the C2C from east to west over the next 5 days.

    I’m at the farm in Harrogate and despite the Biblical downpours last night we could still hear the Leeds Music Festival going on way over yonder hills. Ohhh those poor kids who thought the “endless summer” was here to stay..

    It is still tipping it down her now and the Cows & Sheep hardly seem to care, which is what I’m going to do.

    Yours,

    Few distant rumbles of thunder at the eastern edge of the NW Alps. All chairlifts suspended until this afternoon due to lightning, Alpine forecast suggesting storms later.

    So it’s been raining all night, it’s not caught people unawares.
    Why then are there people at the bus stop without a coat or brolley?

    Walked up to the shop last night and got totally soaked to the skin in the last 200m to home. It was biblical – no point in running as I was so wet in the first few seconds of it starting it didn’t seem worth it.

    No rain at the moment but very black skies.

    Tipping it down in SE Londonshire and forecast to stay that way overnight. Likely to be on the winter bike tomorrow – there’ll be standing water everywhere

    Sunny, hot and dry in Madrid.

    Haven’t seen rain for over a month now, and that was when I went to north Spain on holiday.
