Great news x

I can’t remember the last time we had any rain. I’m sure we haven’t had more than a drip or two since the school holidays started. And still no rain forecast at all. The common is so Dry and dusty. I really do worry about all the little creatures that live there.

@JES72, it did rain here for 7 minutes earlier in the week and I was soaked to the skin, but I wasn't going to complain

We had MASSIVE hail here on the weekend (well, not HERE but a couple hours away). Some were orange and grapefruit sized. Cars got absolutely destroyed out on the highway, windows smashed in and completely battered. Luckily no one badly injured, some scratches and whatnot from the glass breaking in the cars. So frightening!

@Lisa, that must have been a very scary experience. I wonder how all the broken windscreens were sorted!

Hehe we had the same weather today!

Pretty much the same here too. The days are already warming up but still very cold in the morning and at night. The day before yesterday we had a sudden spike up to 25 degrees which is 7 degrees above normal for winter / August. I walked outside and felt the warmth and thought I'd been in a time warp

At least the dratted rain has gone. The park where we let Maxx run around on the 15m lead is still a bog

Our lawn is still boggy and struggling. We have clay soil that just retains water and packs down.

I'm amazed by how it suddenly warmed up though.

It will take a long time. It’s not just the windshields, of course, there’s body work, too. Because there were so many that were damaged and there are only so many insurance adjusters and body work shops I imagine there will quite a wait for people.

Oh yak - just looked at the forecast and it’s changed again! Weather was forecast to break tomorrow - now not until Tuesday

 

[Atemas]

Yay, we have rain - the kind that fills up water barrels

No rain here yet, apart from a bit of a shower last evening. We keep being promised it but it doesn't come. Probably be a deluge as just about to take Rourke out!

So do we, yippeeee Thunder rumbling around too xx

 

[Selina27]

Just drizzle for us !

 

[Cath]

Still no rain here

We’ve had thunderstorms, torrential rain - the sort that bounces off the roof and misses the water butts altogether , and now it’s all hot and sticky again. I was really hoping it would cool down considerably for tonight.
