Duckandswing Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Zilch in South Wales. Just looks bleak. Mind you, I am looking towards Newport, so that's a given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Nothing in the valley's either, despite it supposedly going to pee down from 2pm. And I cancelled a few hours up the farm today too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 The West Country had it bad earlier, the womens cricket was washed out in Taunton. I wasn't there, I saw it on the telly in the pub. Not much good at forecasting, if you want see what happened where rainradar is good free mobile app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just down the road from me then robbiep - will be thinking of you if it does thunder - soon find out how die hard you are lol Not very ! Was just hoping to get it done this evening because SWMBO is off for a curry 'girls evening out' in the new place in Nannerch. So I've got some peace and quiet to get on with it. (thankfully she isn't on here, so doesn't ever read what I type !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Haha it's supposed to be nice there, never sat in (because I can't sit still long enough, mainly) but have had a takeaway, was yummy!

robbiep Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 It is nice, food is really top-notch. Have eaten there a couple of times. SWMBO had a 'Naga delight' there last time, which was just a wee bit too spicy for her, think she'll be going back to madras in future. We live just outside Llandyrnog, so can pop over the top on the lanes, it's only 5 miles from home for us that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Monday afternoon we had a thunder lightening and hail storm which lasted about ten minutes. I think it would be this same weather event which caused the loss of three anglers in the Firth of Forth. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I spent the day in Co. Meath( north of Dublin) and it was the best day of the summer. Hot, sunny and no wind. Scorchio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Still very little here. Total waste of a day for me yesterday, owing to the projected forecast of heavy rain and storms! We had a few spots and that was it. A bit of rain overnight, but nothing like the forecast said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckandswing Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Wazzucking down here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well we had nothing yesterday, but started during the night just heavy rain, Steady rain with really heavy showers now and then certainly not a shooting day so its into the man cave and reload a few hundred 12g ready for the next lot of combining ... There will be some stubble plowed in now its raining and to wet to combine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
