We are praying for rain, I have never seen it so parched here. Because of the high clay content there has been lots of subsidence. Lucky so far on that score. No real rain for over 3 months.

Same here, it's so humid too. Fed up with the heat now

Thunder all around and I am taking advantage of a lull just locally to dash off a couple of posts.

Edit to add: We are not on orange alert for storms until tomorrow morning.

We had thunder and lightning around for a couple of hours from 3am this morning, but not a drop of rain.

Lots of luvverly rain from 8 last night when I was still all a-dither over whether to water the potager. It's still raining now, but timidly.

Storms all around, fair lashings of rain during the night, and still raining. I guess I won't be working this morning! Looking forward, the temperature is set to rapidly drop this weekend, to single figures in the mornings. I suspect I may be the only one going "yay - can get stuck into work without sweltering at last!"

We've had some seriously proper rain here for the first time since June 30th (before that I can't remember when it had last rained). Hopefully we'll get more and the usual autumn flush of grass will materialise.

Not a drop at home but we were in Rennes this afternoon and it absolutely tipped down, with strong gusts of wind and some rolls of thunder. Fortunately we arrived very early for a RDV otherwise I'd have been driving in it.

Oh stoppit you lot! We had a measly 0.5mm last night with the thunderstorm, but that's it for the foreseeable Did I mention that we've got badgers living in the cracks in the ground?

Cool overnight but beautifully warm during the day. But we desperately need rain as we've had very little apart from one downpour over the past few months.
