Heatwave what heatwave!!

Decent rain overnight here nothing to keep us awake storm wise. First water butt in the chain almost full, but sadly I can't get anything out if it 😲😲. Had crossed my mind maybe I should empty out the residue below the tap but it was so hot and sticky here yesterday I didn't 😲. Now to syphon into another butt,  which I'll clean first 😉 and then clean that one. Wouldn't mind but I've showered and primped as meeting a friend at some point today. So will have to start again 😂😂.

Sun's now out and it feels lovely only 18.6c in the deep shade when I last looked. Everything in the garden is looking delighted with their wash and drink.

Rained last night after the electrical storm, one or two showers so far this morning.  Come on sun where are you?

Rain overnight and spitting this morning.  Generally dull and damp and much cooler.

We had heavy rain through the night and from about 10 minutes ago this morning it is lashing down.again.  Because of the heavy cloud last night we were not able to see the Blood Moon but we did see lots of lightening flashes a long way to the south of us. 

Must say the rain is very welcome as the gardens were needing the hosepipe every day. When out walking the dog this morning the fields were still baked hard even with last night's heavy rain. We need a sustained period of wet weather to fill the reservoirs and rivers and irrigate the grass for animals grazing.

It's still reasonably hot though.

Sun is out, blue skies, little windy but temperature back up in the 20's 

Rain for us at last! Couple of hours, steady, no storm. Sun is out now, very breezy, a nice balmy 22c!

Proper Summer weather at last, in the low 20’s, the grass is greening up & the plants are bouncing back. All hail Mother Nature😂😂👍🏻(& the jet stream heading south)

Rain again over night, we have had rain everyday for a week, some light showers and some heavy ones. The temperature has been in the low 20's, although the other day it dropped to 15, The sun seems to be hiding, no need for suncream or parasol, no risk of heatstroke, The grass, vegetables and flowers are loving it.

Still glorious here, 26c at the moment.

More hot weather on the way here in sunny Somerset.
