Can we all sing Kate Bush’s Cloudbusting please?

And take your pick from the following songs. And feel free to add your own. We’ve got to do something. Yes, I know it won’t make a difference but maybe we can throw away the hosepipe, turn off the kettle and do a rain dance.

It’s raining Men - The weather girls
I can’t stand the rain - Tina Turner
No rain - Blind Melon
Purple Rain - Prince
November Rain – Guns N' Roses
Singing in the Rain - Gene Kelly
Raindrops keep falling on my head - BJ Thomas
I wish it would rain -The Temptations
Rainy Days and Mondays – The Carpenters
Blame it on the rain - Milli Vanilli
Sunshine on a rainy day - Zoe
Umbrella - Rhianna

I wish it would rain ! It’s been months since a good few days of rain where I live.

Good idea OP. Had no rain for a month now

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain (only not just now)

If the songs and raindances don't work, then do what my friend did at the weekend and go camping. She woke to the sound of rain falling on her tent.😂

It's raining where I am right now (West Yorks), I want it to stop as I've just hung my washing out.

This apparently worked in 1976. I'm too young to remember but I am reliably informed the skies opened within a week of it being released as a single. You can always rely on The Wombles.😄

Yes, not sure why I am contributing as I'm in the same location and I got soaked in Saisnsbury's car park yesterday.😆

It Might As Well Rain Until September, Carol King(?)

I got incredibly excited yesterday morning when I saw very small puddles in the village, it then started to rain at about 10 30 that lasted for about 5 minutes.

Different vibe, but this is a fabulous piece of music. And it really feels like it should work!

My family are abandoning a camping holiday in the Lakes because of rain, I almost feel jealous! Considering that we had one of the wettest Speing's on record maybe the investment should be in more storage.

I feel jealous of my sister who is down south and complaining it's too hot. It's not cold here by any means, but it's cool and windy, I'm still mostly having to wear a jacket when I go out. I want to be properly, unapologetically HOT again.
