Rain watch

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

met office say 'Driest Start for more than 80 years'

Though I utterly adore the heat I'm increasingly aware of how dry the ground is becoming.

So a rain watch thread for those who would welcome a little.

Looking for there to be nothing of significance (light bits and pieces) until Sunday when the sw get some, Wales gets a reasonable amount as does nw England upwards. It looks lie a pretty wet prospect. SE remains dry.

se looks unlikely to see much at all until tuesday and even then it may well not be much. Can't rule out the odd thunderstorm bringing a deluge though.

Busy day - back later!

Will we ever get five days of consecutive sunshine in Scotland this year?

My delphiniums are horizontal.

But do feel sad for cancelled sports day
we had ours two weeks ago when it was too hot really

Badkitten - do you know what the weather will be like a week Friday , 23 when the schools break up? Will it be rainy sch hols again?!

I don't know, but I think that after a cooler week this week in the south that it is going to become warmer again. for further north, I'm not sure its on the cards to improve yet.

dd is on the pc at the mo, later on I'll have a proper look at the models for you.

Thanks!

ok, have had a look at the gfs model which shows warm temps and loads of rain for the week from July 23rd

Fortunately its quite a way off!

Thanks! So rain for the school hols!
