Here in Norfolk we've not had rain for weeks so trying to water everything on allotment daily. Even though my bowls match was abandoned today I was very happy to put my feet up after tea instead all that watering. Hopes it rains all night long, trouble is the weeds will all be taking off as well as the plants.:D

We've just had our first downpour in weeks as well in Sussex. Have 5 waterbutts to fill up so hoping for lots more...

Also in East Anglia and it has rained on and off all day here. Just had to feed/water the tomatoes in growbags and have collected lots of rainwater in buckets for my blueberry. But otherwise no watering today - hurrah! I really don't mind the watering but it's nice to have a day off :j

We had our 1st down pour in Essex this morning at 3am and it is still quite cloudy so hoping for more
Been so long without rain and my water butt needed it. funny enough i disconnected my waterbutt last night and cleaned it out and then set it back up it is now almost half full!x

We are due a real deluge of rain over the next few days in Manchester which is ironic as our hosepipe ban came into place last Friday

South East London...........drizzle over night here but its a start, first rain for over a month.:j and its cloudy and cooler too.
Most unlike me to want any of those, but had had enough of 30c, it can warm up again next week after I've finished painting my hall ceiling, the paint was drying on the brush last week so gave up, and it will give my salad stuff a chance to recover.

I was hoping for thunder and lightening downpour (I like storms:D) but am grateful for any rain even if it's only drizzle:cool:

First proper rain for over 6 weeks here in West Kent on Sunday night and more over last two days. Thank goodness as garden and veg patch looking very sorry for themselves and the horses paddocks were going very brown.

No rain yet, due in a couple of hours. Looking forward to seeing the garden enjoy it's drink and I won't have to get the old watering can out for a while!
