Every few days it’s the same. The air feels heavy like it might, just maybe, rain. Clouds form. Rain’s on its way! Today might be the day!

Then the clouds pass over again and it’s back to weird dusty heavy warmth. It’s like having really unsatisfying sex. It’s really putting me on edge.

Don’t you all be telling me it’s rained round your way today!!

There has been heavy rain about 2 miles away twice in last few days but it keeps missing us. We have only had a few spots of rain in weeks. Its getting really weird.

South east here. Let it rain.

Come to Brizzle, it's been living up to it's name today.

MorningsEleven · 13/07/2018 19:24

It drizzled on my washing at lunchtime. The sun's come back out now.

TheFlis12345 · 13/07/2018 19:25

It's raining in South West London but not that heavy yet. It might head your way Kbear!

LightAsTheBreeze · 13/07/2018 19:29

It’s due to rain next week, just in time for when schools break up

derxa · 13/07/2018 19:29

We need the rain to make silage. It's a downpour here.

SoulToSqueeze · 13/07/2018 19:31

Had about 30 seconds of rain in Birmingham

Tara12 · 13/07/2018 19:31

In Surrey everything is dead and brown. It hasn't rained for weeks and weeks. I hate it. I love a bit of rain. The air is all dirty with pollution too.

Springersrock · 13/07/2018 19:32

I’m down south. We had rain for about 40 minutes yesterday afternoon - it was quite a good soaking

Very localised though. Rain where I was at work, 2 minutes down the road at home there was none. I got very excited as I’m sick of watering my veggies

BikeRunSki · 13/07/2018 19:37

It drizzled for 2 o 3 hours in Barnsley this morning. Very exciting.

Raining in NW London for the past 10 mins or so, not too heavy yet, I hope it starts pouring and get some thunder/lightening going on - clear all the humidity.

DerelictWreck · 13/07/2018 19:40

I'm in north east London and not raining here! But just heard that hinder

DerelictWreck · 13/07/2018 19:40

*thunder

AlphaBravo · 13/07/2018 19:48

I'm in the NW where the hell are you all to have rain and thunder?! Liverpool just has dead heat and me lying naked on my bed wanting to vomit with the close weather.

PorridgeAgainAbney · 13/07/2018 19:49

Feels like about 2-3 months since we had any rain. I'm so fed up hearing people at work talking about how wonderful it is...then in 3 months time they'll be moaning if food prices go up due to increased costs for the farmers. I saw a farmer on the One Show saying that he's having to feed his animals on the food he'd stored for the winter as there's no grass in the fields, so now he's going to have to buy more feed for the winter. It's sad, and not normal...and still I see people using sprinklers on their lawns on the afternoon school run.

Yes, I know, I sound like a miserable git but I'm not really Grin.

SallyVating · 13/07/2018 19:49

Thunder and heavy rain for the last half hour or so here in north London

Oysterbabe · 13/07/2018 19:51

We've had some very heavy rain here in Bristol this afternoon. All the snails have come out of hiding and there are hundreds of them on the lawn.

squidgesquodge · 13/07/2018 19:54

No rain here for weeks. I am desperate for the feel and smell of it. There seem to be heavy showers within miles of us but nothing here yet. I so hope we get some tonight.

MaMaMaMySharona · 13/07/2018 19:55

I’m in Manchester and it rained last night, this morning and it’s been raining again for a little bit now. It’s meant to be dry all weekend again (fingers crossed) and then rain again next week!

Cheeseislife · 13/07/2018 19:55

I've been watching rain and snow on TV and feeling insanely jealous Angry

Cuppaand2biscuits · 13/07/2018 19:57

I know exactly what you mean op. According to local news reports the last time it rained here was 7th June!
