It's been a dry and sunny April so far. Now the rain is coming this week. We need rain to make the grass grow so it's good news for us farmers. The weather presenters are all sad face about it. A small gripe in amidst all the CV misery.

People like sun, it's built into our DNA

@derxa - how right you are; they always talk of a 'risk' of rain as if the wonderful, life giving fluid is a gift from Lucifer, rather than an essential element for sustaining the planet. I am biased, however, as a horticulturalist and grower and praying for a good soaking now - nearly six weeks with no rain here and the land is desperate for a good drink. When it does come it will soak it up, belch and ask for more!

Weather presenters should be giving us a factual report. It's science not an entertainment show.

Yanbu at all. I like a nice dry day for myself, it’s easier to occupy the kids if we’re not getting soaked, but there’s beauty in rain and like you say, it’s like people forget that we actually need for growing food.

Sitting in your garden also wouldn’t be as fun if the grass was all sun scorched and hadn’t been watered at all, through immediate lack of rain or through hosepipe bans that would need to come in if we didn’t have any rain longer term.

Surely it’s witchcraft 😉 At least the homogenised stuff we get on TV is?

Yanbu, @derxa. Rain definitely needed around here. And speaking as someone who lived in a part of the ME where it was invariably hot, dry, and hazy, every single day, I have never stopped appreciating the variety of weather here.

I agree, and people are just set up to be miserable when the 'bad' rain arrives.
