When is it going to stop... Raining

[Accy cyclist]

Totally annoying drops of rain yesterday and after just letting my mutt out for a pee it's still going on! It's not full rain, as in little separation between the drops, more larger drops a few inches apart. I heard that we can only expect a summer, when we'll have an 'Indian summer' in mid to late September.

By our standards, the past week has been mostly good. And I have been on holiday (at home), so a bonus. Managed a few rides. But.... normal service due to return on Thursday, and the forecast for the following 10 days is "unsettled". Which pretty much sums it up. We just don't seem to get long spells of good weather any more, at any time of year. Maybe 3 or 4 days, and that's it; back to wind and rain for weeks on end.

The weather lass on the radio was saying last night that we're only halfway through the month but already at 150% the average rainfall level for the full month of July.

We're doubtless now due a hosepipe ban then.

Our weather seems to squeeze the month's rainfall into short periods. We July's rain last night, and then it gave us an advanced instalment for August

We had torrential rain yesterday (Monday) but the forecast is now saying 20 degrees and dry from today (Tuesday) until Friday. This is excellent news as my sons sportsday was cancelled yesterday but will go ahead Thursday. We've also pressure washed all of our fences and woodwork in the garden ready for spraying paint - should have dried out properly by Thursday. I do love getting the spray gun out

A sports day cancelled for rain (or indeed any reason) is the best sports day ever.

Dry at the moment, rain due in <2 hours.

If you saw news of the royal visit to Jersey yesterday... that shot of the parade in torrential rain! Those half-drowned scouts!

The same weather swept through SE England yesterday evening; sufficiently heavy to block satellite TV.

Every cloud has a silver lining.......

Most of us have a guilty pleasure on the box. I was watching documentaries.

In the absence of relevant details, i imagine you watch end-to-end Love Island, Below Deck and Hey Duggee?

Of the 3 you listed, I haven't even heard of 2 of them. And Love Island which I have heard of, I have never watched.

Me neither. From the names I'm sure they're hard hitting, gritty documentaries.

The rain came later than forecast but it is here now.

I'd heard of two of them - I've seen trailers for Below Deck on Channel 4 - it is a "reality" series about the crew members of a luxury yacht I believe. Never seen an episode, nor one of Love Island.

And like you, I hadn't even heard of Hey Duggee. Looking it up, it appears to be an animated series on cbeebies.

You know it's getting bad when even the weather gets delayed.
