Absolutely sheeting down in north herts

Customer had a dry pond when we started the job, after break it had ducks swimming round in it. To be fair break was extended slightly due to the lightning.

Been promised storms for 2 days. Had a drop of rain overnight. That's it so far. Come on rain......

That's what I'd been thinking this afternoon: I saw storms around us yesterday but not a cough at home.  Until mid-afternoon today, then the heavens opened for an hour.  It brought back memories of September 1976!

AJS you won't remember that but fear not - you'll get rain.  Or the usual mist up on Crowborough Beacon!

Ha ha. Yes you are right I won't remember that. But I do hope you're right about the rain. 

 

You will have to tell us what did happen in September 1976......

We danced in the first rain since April.

Is that a uthenism?

Phenomenal rain here, I’ve lived here (probably wettest area in southern England) for 10 years and never experienced anything like it. Only an hour or two of rain- but pub, primary school all flooded, primary school playground about 4 and a half foot deep of water.

Water coming into greenhouse and primary school playground 

That wall In the far corner is 6ft high to give some idea how deep it was, an hours rain - it’s mental.

I remember the long , hot summer of 76 . It was dry from March to September . It was hot but I don't think it reached the mid 30s like happens now .
