What day of rain are you on?

[Playingvideogames]

I think we’re at 42 now. It hasn’t missed a day since the first week of January. I feel like I’m stuck in the set of Wuthering Heights despite living in the West Country. I have 2 small kids and a lively dog.

This is DIRE!!!!!!!!

We had two dry days at the weekend so I guess day 3? But it feels like the 2 millionth day... When's St Swithins day? I think that's the right one, where according to legend what ever the weather is on that day determines what the next 40 days and nights will be...

Devon. Wet wet wet. And yes, im feeling it in my fingers and my toes.

8 trillion. Or everyday at least this year.

This weather is miserable, awful and depressing.

Yep - I’m in Bath- I feel your pain

Devon. Think we’re on day 40-something now.

The Saturday just gone was beautiful for the most part, with a 20% chance of light rain forecast around 11pm, so I risked it went out for the evening without my raincoat (hooray!). Ended up getting absolutely soaked walking home at 8pm! I was quite tipsy so it sobered me up a little, and my chippy warmed me up a treat.

I don’t mind a couple of cozy, dark, rainy days but it’s starting to make me feel very low now. Longing for the day I can take a long walk with the dog without (both of us!) layering up, and pop into the local on the way back for a Club sandwich and cold pint in the beer garden 😩

Southwest (Bath) here. We had a dry day Saturday and one yesterday but other than that, rain every day I think.
My cat is hardly venturing out, he's lazy anyway though!

47 long miserable cold wet days😭

If I was with Jacob Elordi I wouldn’t mind the rain! Sadly that’s not to be, so I’ve come to Gran Canaria with the kids for half term 😁

It actually makes me glad I don’t have horses anymore.
To all those poor souls who do have horses to look after, I feel your pain.
Biblical rain here in the New Forest since christ knows when with frightening floods in Brockenhurst.

It’s not rained here for 2 days!! It’s not always worse up north ;)

It didn’t rain yesterday - that was the first and only day in 2026 so far.

Was it actually dry yesterday ? It’s been so wet here i think my brain is sodden!

DH was in hospital from the second week in November and it rained every day I visited and every day since, bar two. Southwest here.

Not sure but I'm in the middle of building an ark

Had two hours no rain yesterday, hose pipe ban starts next week… 😂

At the moment just the one. It was dry yesterday, Monday, and Saturday.

There's still standing water in the garden though...

A rare event happened Saturday here .I needed to pinch myself! Yup a sunny day! Went to a NT house nearby utterly rammed! Couldnt even get a drink.Back to normality today poured all Sunday and today /yesterday .Just how much can there be? Feels impossible only last Summer worried about Drought!

And the hosepipe ban will begin two days after it stops. If it ever does.

I actually bought a dry robe the other day because every other coat is now letting in water on dog walks as I don’t seem to be able to get them dry! I took a photo of the sky last week as there was some blue sky and I was so shocked to see it.

For once, up here in Manchester, it hasn’t really rained much (apart from on Monday), or certainly not so much that it is unusual. I take the dog out twice a day and so would definitely be feeling it if it was really bad!

Our groundwater levels have on average been very low for the past few years following lots of extended hot periods and dry winters.

This is why so many hosepipe bans came into effect so quickly even after rainier periods.

Right now is the first time I've seen the local reservoir full probably since COVID.

As much as I wish this rain had been rather more spread out(!), it has at least replenished our groundwater levels which are now normal (or above normal).

1. I got all my bedding out to dry yesterday (Kent).

Also in the SW, I have spent a ridiculous amount of time looking for holidays and extreme day trips abroad. The rain is so depressing.

I think it was, unless I imagined it through wishful thinking!
Back to heavy rain today, as I'm sure you're aware!

oh yes - I’m so fed up of wearing my long black sack like hooded waterproof!!
