Their months worth of rain in the next 24 hours then?

I know I am! Nothing quite lifts the human spirit of a summer morning than an Amber Flood Warning from the Met Office, as you listen to yet another torrential downpour hammering against the window

Happy days indeed!

I'm looking forward to chillaxing on Gairloch beach at 23 degrees myself this afternoon/night. 🙂
Camping with the kiddies.

Does that mean it won't rain for the rest of July after that?

Well, I do like watching heavy summer rain [from inside]
As I have absolutely nothing to to today, that's what I'll do 🙂

What time did it start so I know when it'll stop?

I'm camping in The Lakes this weekend. I'm also taking a few mates who've never been camping before, told them it's always sunnier in The Lakes :mrgreen:

There must be some redeeming aspect of camping, can't say I've found it yet though

There is; bacon butties smell and taste better in the fresh air.

And blow-up camping beds can be employed for a spot of white-water rafting through the flooded local village

All good here on the Surrey riviera 🙂

Light rain shower forecast for about 16:00 though, should dampen down the dust a little so can't complain.

We used to go camping as kids, I hated it
Then, my brother-in-law persuaded us to go with him to the New Forest for a week, it pissed down pretty much all week, totally ****ing miserable waste of a week's holiday

Woke up to another thunderstorm in the North East. Joy.
Fortunately this one doesn't seem to be [i]quite[/i] as biblical as the last one. 🙂 Still had to drive through some mighty big puddles this morning though.

First thunderstorm of the day rumbling away overhead now. Would it be wrong to use it as cover for an enormous guff?

Mowed the lawn and two paddocks last night plus had a BBQ with the family so boxes ticked. Went to sleep listening to thunder (but no lightening 🙁 ) which was cool - just grey and raining in Chester now.

Sunny Suffolk is wet, grey and not very sunny. Nothing too bad though. If it gets totally horrific with epic amounts of rain I should be ok as I live on what passes for a 'hill' in these parts. Plenty of room for my mates who live down by the river though, if they need to camp! 😉

Northern people like the rain. That's why they live there, right?

It's what passes at the moment for quite a nice day in S Wilts, which means no rain and kind of bright clouds..... Forecast a bit different for tomorrow, when I'm facepainting at a local carnival. Feeling glad of my newly purchased gazebo.

Stay safe people in the rain affected areas.

I want to go away this weekend. We will be camping. Is there anywhere within 300 miles of Buckinghamshire not expecting biblical rain?

How's that drought going down South. Are you allowed to wash the dust off your bikes yet?
