When is it going to stop... Raining

[Pat "5mph"]

Keep an eye on what nature is doing.

Nature is confused: some of my spring bulbs from last year are already sprouting!
It has been a nice morning here, quite sunny.
Grey, overcast, a bit cold and drizzly after 2 pm, but I still managed to trim my hedge after work.
Because I didn't have time to do it yesterday @Slick
My new battery operated Bosh was just the tool!

You might have a bit less to view, and draw from than SpokeyDokey. But you should still have things like birds that will give you an idea of the weather.
Things like white that's too white, which is a sure sign of rain. It can give as much as an hours warning. Car headlights that are too white are another, non natural, way of forecasting rain.

Apparently I've brought the Turkey sun home with me and its decided to take a 2 week break right here in Glasgow. I might book some more time off work.

The thunderstorm that we were promised has finally hit Leicester. We've just had some thunder that was that loud, the window shook, made me jump.

When it started raining here it was like a cloud burst, I'd get the washing in quick.

Clouds starting to roll in from the South. Can you keep the storm down there please.

indeed , we got it in just in time before the full force of the storm hit . We are now right under the storm so the cat is hiding and i wonder how long before the interweb goes down .

You might have it for a while. It is still thundering and raining here, though the sky looks like it is finally clearing.

There is no rain here at the moment it's been a nice sunny day, if a bit humid.
Thunder storms are forecast for the early hours of the morning continuing through much of Sunday.
