It's here and it's heavy!

[tigger]

I've put this in genaral fishing as I think it's very relevant to fishing, especially ATM.
Any one else got rain, it's absolutly torrential here just now! The sky looks black and bruised and it looks like it's full of water.

Nope only a few clouds on the horizon here in Leicestershire Hardly any rain forecast either

 

[Molehill]

I spotted a small puddle this afternoon, quite exciting.

 

[tigger]

I looked at the bbc weather report today and it had a slight chance of light rain...how usless are they!
Surely they'd be able to see those huge expanses of black cloud with their satalites.

 

[barbelboi]

No rain, warm and mainly sunny today with 29C forecast for the weekend...

 

[binka]

None at all here but I wouldn't mind a drop or two!

 

[Keith M]

I wouldnt get too upset if we had some rain to flush out our rivers and stop the big cracks appearing on our lawns either.

No rain forecast for our area of the country so far, and the ground is so hard any rain will just run off anyway.

Drove through the beginnings of a big black cloud on the wrong side of the A66 earlier this evening. It managed to wet the roads but little more. Though there's plenty of cloud cover on the better end of the A66, there's no sign of rain. Hopefully, it's bucketing down up the dale.

 

[Tee-Cee]

That's all very well tigger, BUT WHERE is 'here' ???

I haven't a clue where you hail from - even roughly!

For the record, South Bucks is bone dry. You could bounce a snooker ball off the grass.

 

[tigger]

Well, thats that then, it's stopped already!
It smells like a stagnant pond outside now and there isn't a hint of a wind. It's seriously humid also so looks like being a sleepless neet toneet!


Oops, sorry Tee Cee.....Lancashire bud.

 

[Another Dave]

Nothing forecast here until Tuesday.

I've been amazed that all the local rivers and streams are still flowing nicely, no rain at all for weeks and weeks now. Has to be springs.

 

[thecrow]

Chance of a shower here later, off fishing in a few mins but i am not taking a brolly its will be nice to sit in a bit of rain after so long without any.

 

[Tee-Cee]

Still nothing remotely wet but the sky does look threatening. However, the Beeb did say we have a chance of really heavy rain, but that's all it is - a chance!

I did wonder, Crow if you returning home after your session, soaking wet with shirt stuck to your manly chest (sort of Poldark style) did it for the wife/partner?? Well, you never know................

 

[sagalout]

I fished yesterday morning at Cinderford, Gloucestershire and there was light rain for a couple of hours but it didn't have much affect and as soon as it stopped everything was dry again. Mrs Lout reported that there was some light rain at home. We were forecast storms this afternoon but the met office have changed their minds again!

Sounds dangerous.....

 

[carpinbob]

No rain here in North Norfolk just overcast, should be getting a couple light showers next week according the long range weather forecast.

 

[seth49]

Looks like we have had some rain here in Clitheroe, everything is wet and there’s even puddles, save me watering the garden for a while.

 

[Peter Jacobs]

We only had a short shower here on the edge of the Plain but if was sufficient to cool things down which was a relief.

 

[tigger]

Pretty much a sleepless night as I predicted and so I was aware of the quite heavy showers. It's still thick with clouds and were still having intermittent showers. It looks like it could hammer it down any moment and feels as though we could do with a good thunder storm to releive the pressure.
