Originally posted by Richard Barrett View Post38º here today. I'm staying in and keeping the air conditioners on. Already switched to working at night.
Here a day of April showers and relatively cool temperatures - 19 C at noon when one would expect 22 C in late July, now 16 C in the middle of a downpour. It looks like we are to be "blessed" with sub-average temperatures going into August here.

Thunderstorm now approaching.
Later: That was a massive deluge, for about 5 minutes, although the cell had thundered itself out by the time of arrival, to my surprise.Last edited by Serial_Apologist; 28-07-21, 15:46.

There has been some very localised urban flooding to the south of the county but for the rest occasional showers, admittedly some heavy but very brief, and the wind is ensuring that little evidence remains after a while. Reluctant to talk things up as a battering storm wouldn't be welcome or helpful, but let's just say I'm not putting the hoses away yet. The forecast suggests more rain in the offing later - possibly.

Bright dry start to the day but a very blustery wind and distinctly cool, especially in the shade. There was evidently a fair amount of rain last night which has managed to get to the soil under the jungle of beans and tomatoes - hurrah! There can't have been much air movement as the coverage is uniform and plants are still upright - some even more so than previously now they've been rehydrated. It's a pity about the wind as it's going to take a lot of the moisture away, quite apart from keeping temps down.
