Yippeee!!! twenty minutes so far of steady rainfall is happening. Never thought I would be glad to see some rain at last, after just over a month of dry hot weather. Just got a mental picture of my 7 recently installed water butts filling up with rain water. Better check them for leaks later this morning, instead of going down to the beach sunbathing. I expect the climate change experts are tucked up in bed dreaming about how to re-instate the long range weather forecast.
We had a terrific storm the other night, thunder and lightning included - only enough rain to fill one dustbin - better than nothing though as I was getting short of water.
ReplyDeleteUs too, at about 0315, power went out but only for a few seconds. There was some more rain later that morning but after checking the soil down the plots it had only soaked in about an inch. Its cooler today with a few light showers about.
