You'd be surprised how quickly the ground dries up tbh.

Watering. It's been dry for like 5 days, I doubt even the top 1cm is dry, we still have a puddle on the garden.

The pots in the sun have dried out quickly. Some of my smaller surface plants too.

Lasted about 10 mins. Back to full sun now!

Forecast has gone from biblical storm to warm and sunny here in the last couple of hours...

Not everything is planted in the ground.

Nothing here yet, forecast constantly changing. Doubt we'll see anything.

Spoke too soon, absolutely bucketed it down. Road was like a river, some great lightning strikes.

Some good storms moving out of Wales heading North, North East!

Here though it's nice to have no rain at all :cry:

No real issues here, lots of rain just now. Real deluge.

Now some lightning and a big clap of thunder.. but it's not like a few months ago where it was cracking lightning every 30 seconds!

CaptainRAVE · 15 Jul 2024 at 19:38

Was hoping to jump in the hot tub, but maybe not in this rain/thunder.

Upgraded on BBC for thunder from 11pm
