It did rain .
Lovely stuff.
2½ weeks supply.
No need to irrigate for a couple of days, either

Sunshine and a rather cold wind forecast is for more showers

Hertfordshire is dry with quite a bit of sunshine and a westerly 25 kph breeze.
So where's that rain?

Excellent news Paul , here in Cheshire we have a family of great spotted woodpeckers being taught how to extract peanuts off the feeders. On the weather front, the overnight rain has cleared and patches of blue are starting to appear, clearly there will be a major weed explosion as result which is timely as our council's green waste collection is due to restart next week ...........View attachment 54707

Great photo, Dave.

Was blowing a bit on the beach this morning, but back home it is just a cool breeze. Sun's fighting a losing battle with the clouds

It’s here in Cheshire Colin, quite heavy rain early on, now it’s heavy showers with sunny intervals and strong winds forecast for this afternoon .....

About 30 minutes after I posted this morning the sky darkened and light rain followed. And 30 minutes after that the heavens opened and we had a deluge for perhaps 10 minutes. Now we're back to light rain, though I suspect we'd need a week or two of the same to make a real difference to the fields and gardens of Herts.

Currently being battered by westerly gusts of 44kmph, lots of emergency staking in the garden ..... at least the tomatoes are safe ....

A pretty good day.
No hint of yesterday's rain
A gentle stroll, before it got too warm for comfort.
Back for a little light gardening, while the soil was still friable..
A cold shower, lunch outside...
We're still there.
Is this smug filter working ? Him

That was a stormy night. Back to just breezy now.

It's very "breezy" air at 10°C in Hertfordshire. Rain is likely later today so I've been out on the bike to test my legs against the wind and Herts slopes. Coffee is definitely in order and well earned.
I've just checked the wind conditions and it has been gusting to about 70kph. No wonder the bike ride was challenging in places!
It now looks as if rain is imminent - that's good news for the soil hereabouts.

It’s finally calmed down in Cheshire after heavy rain overnight, some heavy blustery showers this morning but longer gaps now and probably staying drier for the rest of the day ...

edit .... wrong, just started raining again

 

[Val54]

Just found one casualty of the windy conditions, a goldfinches nest blown out of one of our scots pines, no sign of the birds so hopefully they’d already fledged.

The wind has dropped and Devon has a dry start to the day.
