AIBU to suppose that if it rains this much NOW then it won't rain in the summer holidays because all the rain will have been used up?

[slowreader]

Or not?

sorry - doesn't work like that (although I suspect you knew that anyway ).

love the idea tho

I hope your right that would be great

do you think we would still have a hosepipe ban !!!!

I sort of imagine it will be worse because there is lots of water around, instead of it being somewhere else.

Unreasonable? No.

Unrealistic? Yes.

ohhh you are applying the same logic as me

I think this year's quota has just emptied itself in my back garden - and I was out there too. Cue one change of clothes including undies......

Actually I think that should be quotient .

I have just truged to the docs for a smear test wering a coat and boots. It's nearkly July FFS

DS1 has had major meltdown because I made him wer a jacket, and he has coataphobia

So I am hoping that this summer's quota of rain is nearly all used up. Although I suspect we have got last years unused rain to contend with as well

Ha ha! Could be possible.

If I'm holidaying in the UK, I always prefer it if it rains the week before, because two weeks of solid rain is quite unusual - even over here.

Soooooo, I'm going with slowreader's theory.

I am trying to decide if I will look too much of a prat if I go shopping wearing my sailing waterproof. It wouldn't be so bad only it is navy with a yellow fluorescent hood.

Ues, kathy you will look a prat.

However, you will be a dry prat, and the drowned rat look is never good

INtergalacticW what an appalling thought it had never crossed my mind surely all last years unused rain was emptied down The Big Black Hole on 31st Dec?

i think statistically, it's unlikely to rain more this season. but then, 98% of statistics are made up...

LOLOL Slowreader.

IW - think I might be a Dry Prat then.

Going off on atangebt a little but when the hosepipe ban was lifted here in april next door immediately got the sprinkler out and left it running for 1-2 hours in his garden.

day after day after day he did this (it did bug me. What a waste of water for a start??!!)

He does have a lovely garden...well he did have.....
Now his grass is parched and dry and and looks awful.

Ours which has never seen a sprinkler looks like a bowling green.

I can't tell you how smug I feel

tangent even....

At least dd is enjoying the weather - we took her out yesterday wearing her all-in-one waterproofs & wellies & she jumped in every puddle she saw. I took ds in the buggy so I could hide behind the raincover & made dh hold dd's hand so he was soaked from the knees down

DD1 is getting a lot of use out of her lovely, pink CROCS wellies she got for her bday.

She lurves them. Wore them to nursery today.

about 10 years ago it started raining in about May and didn't stop till about the end of august. I was going on holiday to Ireland in July and kept applying the logic of well if its raining now it must get better some time.... it didn't, we were driving round Ireland in the rain...
Last year it was super hot July, rained all august then nice and warm and dry again in September so fingers xxxd for a dry month coming up!

metcheck are saying still going to be raining next month. I am soo fed up with it. The dts are going to go up the walls being stuck in all week.

Th plus side of thie shite weather is that I haven't had to inflict vast swathes of ugly, puvkered doughy flesh on the general public.

that doughy flesh should have been getting nicely baked by now though
