There is no mercy
The rain has arrived and I find myself standing outside soaking it up. Never thought I would be looking as forward as I am to rain and cooler temperatures. Anyone else?
Here comes the rain...

Same here, thunderstorms and a brief heavy spell of rain, now just a gentle shower. Very welcome indeed, and whilst it's cooler now it's more humid and sticky.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Started raining here about 2 hours ago. Fantastic. We are desperare for rain. Our large pond is less than half full and the fish are all at the top gasping for air even though we bought a solar powered airator. This rain will be very welcome for the fish and will oxygenate it although to re-fill the pond we will need it to rain non stop for about 2 weeks. No chance of that though.

I'm setting off for a normally 56 minutes 45 seconds ride (some might call it a time trial ) at 6pm. Let's hope it holds off till 6.57pm!

Agree I saw a word for that smell of fresh rain on parched ground. Will have to see if I can find it again.

[QUOTE 5328572, member: 259"]The ground was baked so hard here, that even though we had a deluge, most of it just ran off, as it wasn't able to be absorbed into the ground. Lots of flooded cellars here last night. The lawn's still as hard as rock, even though it was standing under a couple of cm of water last night.[/QUOTE]
I've been watering the flower beds, so they might absorb it - if it comes! Lawn is still brown and solid. We live on a shallow hill, so I'm not bothered about flooding (no cellar, either). It might at least fill up the water butts again!

After initial lightening and a downpour it is now steady drizzle. Perfect. House temp dropped 1.5 degrees already.
