We had rain this afternoon .. very heavy rain in parts but mostly just rain. Very welcome it was too .. It rained on and off for about 3 hours. Such a change from our recent hot weather.

Nights are getting a touch too warm here now. 22C tonight. I much prefer it cooler but might have to wait until summer has passed now.

Skies black now and rainfall just starting. The ground needs the rain to dampen down the dust. We have had many tractors on the go for a week or so silage cutting, bailing and transporting back to the various farms. Beaucoup de poussière.

Our forecast said the rain would come at 2.10 - but I think it might have been a couple of minutes late. It didn't come to anything either, but there's still time.

We had terrific storms overnight, very noisy but no rain until early this morning.
Then sunshine and warm - 23°/24° - but now it feels as tho rain could be on the way again.

We had a bit of rain some 3 hours later, but not much to speak of. It's now cloudy though so perhaps what we had is having the chance to soak in a bit.

Rain. First here sine 11 May I think. Hallelujah. Well that was very poor, although it is supposed to rain all night and well into tomorrow........which is a shame as I am supposed to be on an introduction to orienteering course in the forest tomorrow.

Rain don't stop the orienteerers, just run on through the mud!
Last time I did that was at Bordon camp , must have been 55 years ago!
But anyway , lots of lovely rain here today

The rain won't bother me, but it will the dog. Especially the 8km either way to the rdv that she will be sat in the basket of my electric trike !

I’m a bit jealous of those of you who’ve had rain - my garden is really parched and I have several plants that are still waiting to go into the soil., plus some plants not very long established are looking unwell, despite watering them well twice daily.
Very warm today, 25C, with a pleasant easterly breeze, nicely cooling. Yellow and orange weather warnings out for various parts of the country, warning about the heat for the elderly and vulnerable people until Monday plus thunderstorms.
