Anyone else seeing water falling from the Sky?
Nope
Nyetski.
I'm off to Mull tomorrow staying until Tuesday. Currently forecast to rain all day, every day.
Nope, we've only had two days where light rain fell in 8 weeks (where i am in galloway), but it looks like we have rain for t'morn so i can't feel too smug
Good.
Too hot. This weather is for mad dog Englishmen
Taps aff here.
Rained for about an hour or two Tuesday evening, fantastic smell, a welcome break from the humidity, lasted about 30 seconds after the rain stopped.
I'm currently wearing long trousers for the 2nd time what I'm sure is a month, but maybe slightly longer.
I have only worn long trousers once in about 6 weeks and that was because I had a client meeting.
Is it?
It rained for my daughters birthday on Tuesday, other than that, wall to wall sunshine.
We aren't, it isn't.
Nope, no rain and crunchy grass.
17 drops fell approximately 2 hours ago. We haven't had any rain of note since early May by my reckoning (Calderdale).
Bloody weeds/nettles/brambles manage to keep growing though!
Drier than a Temperance knees up round 'ere.
Nope - it's still hotterer than hell - humid and oppressive.
Had some this week in manchester all dry again now. Take note of where it's going most will be down the drain and nowhere near the water table
8 weeks now since we've seen a drop. Not a blade of grass on the site that is still green.
Rainfall round here in mm since beginning of May;
This starts tonight in the village http://bear-at-home.co.uk/beer-cricket-festival-2018/
Forecast is for rain from 6.00pm for the next 4 days.

A veritable deluge no less!
Were animals sacrificed as a thank you to the Gods?
Still absolutely Scorchio here....
Just started a thundery shower in York. Lovely.
We actually got some rain the other morning, so we went and stood outside in it. It was lovely. For the whole two minutes it lasted.
It’s mad! I’ve never seen the reservoirs anywhere near this low. And there’s no wind. The turbines across the valley on Scout Moor have all been hung there motionless for two days now. Which never happens!
Not a drop in my part of Surrey since 6th June apparently. It was a tad warm in the Heathrow area today
Over here in Germany we literally haven't seen any rain for over six weeks. Our garden looks like the Sahara right now! (You have to pay for every cl of water here so there is no hosing the garden). It also looks like we are not going to get any change in the weather unil the end of August either!
Just started a thundery shower in York. Lovely.
Thunder and lightening heard and seen at the hospital. No actual sky water yet though...
It's raining like crazy here in Brussels at the mo. Garden is loving it
Distant thunder and a few spots of rain in Ely. Proper rain is due tomorrow. Looking forward to it, today has been like a fan oven and it hasn't rained properly for 10 weeks.
We've got our 10 year old nephew and his mate staying. They saw the forecast for Wakefield this morning, saying there's thunder and lightning coming this afternoon. Giddy!
They've prepared the garden shed with camp chairs unfolded, crisps and pop. They're going to be out here in it, if/when it starts.
They're back in the house now, watching telly.
We've had a few big drops of rain and rumbles of thunder, nowt else yet. It's looking dark to the south now, though.

Id have locked the door for when it started lashing down 😈
Bloody weeds/nettles/brambles manage to keep growing though!
Round here (north downs) some of the trails have cleared as the nettles have wilted. I'm some cases though the larger bushes have done the same and collapsed into the trail
I nipped out on the nice road bike on Sunday morning. It was overcast but not raining and the forecast definitely said there was <5% chance of rain and a gentle breeze. It then proceeded to absolutely lash it down for two hours whilst I rode into a force 9 gale for the entire ride. I got back and ate a sandwich, by which time the sun was cracking the flags again.

No chance, they love it out in the shed, dancing round the lawn, running back and forwards into the house when it's raining.
There's a few more grumbles in the air...
It's siling it down, now. They've gone out, I've come inside. ☺️
Just a few spots starting now. Not sure if it will come to anything but could do with something to deal with this humidity. Glad I trimmed the lawns an hour or so ago - first time in a month.
First significant rain here since mid-may.
5 mins of delicious rain, which, 5 mins later, has now mostly evaporated.
It might get down to 22° over night, but it'll be back up to 33° tomorrow.
Last rain of any note was about a week ago, for a couple of hours; prior to that I think it rained in May, but I’m not certain. I’m watering parts of the garden, where I’ve planted ferns and put down a load of mossy stones and logs, mainly for the benefit of the hedgehogs, who enjoy snuffing around in the softer soil, plus I keep saucers of water on the patio and suet pellets which they seem to enjoy. There’s usually two, but sometimes as many as five.
Just had thunder and a downpour here in the New Forest, lasted 10 minutes and has now stopped...hope for more later
I'm in Sheffield. I've been drenched with sweat all day, every day, for weeks.
But... it's just went dark and I can hear thunder.
Bring it on!
EDIT: It just started lashing down. The temperature in my room just went down for the first time in a month.

We did have 5, not seen any for weeks now, but at least one of them is eating the food I put out each night.
A few claps of thunder and the valley has disappeared. I think it's going to chuck it down!
As if by magic ...
It's all over. 5 minutes of rain and it's roasting again.
I was listening the R5L on the way home, m25 near Heathrow was simply baking at 240C for 20mins, then flip and roast for 10mins on the other side.. The radio bloke said 35C at the airport and if I'd opened the windows I'm pretty sure he'd have been right..
However as I hit the Meon Valley heading Sarf, the clouds started to appear above Alton and from then on under cloud cover and at least a drop of 10C.. arrived home on the coast an its overcast and over the New Forest it actually looks like it might have rained, due to the low hanging clouds... but no rain at home.
London Tarn was hot as hell in a heatwave and I really do think..
We've had enough now.
Not me, I love it but I really would like to see some rain now.
