I checked my IBT? water container tuesday morning it was at 150 gallons. Checked it tonight it was 180 gallons - OH can't believe its rained that much over the past couple of days! Bernie

First day of sunshine in weeks today, and it's supposed to be the same tomorrow. You never know, I might be sane again by tomorrow night

[Nicos]

At last, it's raining!!!

Checked the Metcheck, and the BBC sites - looks like May is going to be the new April, non-stop rain for at least the next week...!

Have you noticed it's 2 months since you posted this and it's only just stopping raining????
You a jinx SarzWix or what??????

Forecast said it was going to be sunny today (IV factor 8 !!!). Got to lottie 0730 hrs - home by 0930 hours - by which time it was raining. The "shower" lasted till 1230hrs!! So much for the sunshine! Bernie

Absolutely bouncing down with hail, rain & thunder before but seems to have passed over for now. We're promised a nice day tomorrow (Weds.) so rush out & get everything done then. This warm rain will bring all the slugs & snails out as well tonight so prepare your preferred method of destruction!
P.S. Just watched the latest weather report on Granada & apparently there's the chance of thundery showers again tomorrow although it's going to be warm, so take a brolly to the allotment/into the garden with you!

Hailstones!!!
....excellent

Just realized ( going off Sue A's post) that that's only 10 weeks with an ice-free garden.
No wonder summer seemed so short!

Frost forecast for Thursday & Friday night.

I don't know if North Wales counts in this thread but it's been so warm at night that it's hard to believe there's frost iminent.

[SueA]

Really warm here as well at night, it's been in double figures most of the time & even 14 degrees some nights!But it is very changeable so you never know a couple of clear, sunny days & we could just get a frost.

[SarzWix]

Thursday & Friday are both supposed to be very clear days, and I think the wind is changing direction so going to get pretty chilly. Although that could all change between now & then !

[Alison]

Just checked, getting colder round here but no frost predicted, mind you, you're a lot further across than us.

[SarzWix]

Snow!!!!
Has everybody got some??

[Alison]

None here in the north west but sounds like you're getting it over in Yorkshire at the mo.

[andrewo]

Got snow in Saddleworth and Oldham areas.

[SarzWix]

Properly lashing down with rain here at the mo., and it looks set to carry on for the rest of the week (according to metcheck)... I've got rasps, loganberry & blackthorn to plant out, could judt do with enough dry days for the soil to drain a bit... Fingers crossed for next week!
