Stonepark Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 That's me just emptied out the paddling pool again as rain has been near constant all day. Ground has gone from bone dry and hard 24 hrs ago, to now compressing the soil 2 inches as you walk along a harvested field. Almost perfect for cultivating and planting when the rain finally stops.

Scully Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Still no rain, nor a distant rumble. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonepark Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Another morning, another paddling pool empty. That is us now at 36 hours of near constant rain at differing intensities and about 3inches in total by my guess. Farmers who were irrigating tatties on Sunday, are now looking and wondering if they will end up with splits and blight resurgence, not drought will limit their crop. On a positive note, lawn grass is greening up very nicely, but moss is still browned off in turf. If we get a dry day, time to get the lawn rake out.

amateur Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Hissing it down here. I had just finished fitting a rain collection system to the new shed, but unfortunately not yet connected all the individual garden barrels together, which will be a right PITA with them all partially full of water. 4 minutes ago, Jaymo said: Isn’t ur paddling pool upside down? Of course it is. He doesn't want to get it wet, does he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what Jaymo , we got back home about half an hour ago after going near Lowertoft to the car boot , the morning was again sweltering and the minute we got back home it started to rumble with a few claps of thunder , the light rain lasted a matter of minutes and never even made the concrete look wet , now it have drifted away and the sun is coming out again , never mind we will wait for the next one and hopefully we will get enough to water the garden .

Jaymo Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Teeming down here. Lawn is flooding already. Rest of the family is up at Cromer and say it’s occasionally ’spotting’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we had emptied it Sunday evening and were hoping to get it clean and dried before putting it away. Got the inside clean but not dried before rain started, hence upside down to keep muck out.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Been raining steadily without thunder or lightning for about 35 minutes at Wittering. Very nice. Soaking in and the plants are enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Well we had a LITTLE bit overnight and some this morning but in the grand scheme it only kept the dust down. It's cloudy and more is forecast for more overnight. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Another two weeks of high pressure and little or no rain, after these current showers push through, allegedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
