The good morning and weather thread

My local forecast was spot-on this morning. It said rain would start at 9 p.m. in this locality....and it DID!

[Penny]

We started the day very dull. During the next two hours it appears a little rain came down but such a tiny amount, no puddles and the only clue we can see or could see, was a tiny bubble hanging from the TV wire.

It is very muggy here even after the big thunderstorm in the early hours.We had rain as there is a puddle outside.Luckily my curtains are thick so didnt see the lightning.

[vannin]

It continued all night here.

[Penny]

No change here today. Just a dull sky, no wind or rain. Just been to the chemist and as it is so quiet and calm we went to sit for an hour and watch the barges alongside the canal

[Penny]

Wow. Had rain during the night and as I woke up it had stopped. Within 5 mins. it started again and has been heavy and light ever since. Not stopping once. Must be something about me......

[vannin]

It re-started last night and has never let up. Bucketing down for everyone I imagine.

It was sunny when I got up, by the time I had made my first cuppa it was raining just a little, as though making up its mind which way it was going to go. Still raining but not very heavily, hope it doesn't turn into torrents. ?

[Penny]

Just about to prepare tea and it started to rain. Very lightly , fingers crossed.it is 5.53pm

[Penny]

Changed its mind, less than 2 mins and stopped.

Grey and miserable with light rain then heavy rain. The world's weather seems to be self destructing! Australia has had snow and floods. We had floods in the South Island around Ashburton. Still it is winter here so I guess we have to lump it! Rosie is not pleased with the lack of walks and sniffings!

[vannin]

She is such a little sweetie! I hope she can soon resume walks and sniffings!

[Penny]

Saturday. Sky still dull but no more rain here as yet, and not heard of any flooding in this area. Most odd. Do hope weatherman gets himself sorted soon.

[Penny]

3,30. Sky patchy with a little brightness popping through now and then. Seems we have odd weather for some time yet. Take care and fingers crossed for a good supply of sunshine soon. Cheers Penny
