Well on St. Swithin’s Day it is dry here, but alas it rained heavily from 8pm to about 5 am this morning. So 40 more days of rain it seems!
How is for you?

Dry since 6.30 but it is looking quite grey over the reservoirs, more on the way I think. We did have time to do some jobs in the garden and fit in a small barbecue-these days you have to take a chance!!!!!

So far dry here. Don't think it rained this morning and we have even had little bits of sun. Going dull and grey again now. Hope it doesn't rain.
15 Jul, 2012
Lots of clouds with a few sunny periods .... and a cold blustery wind making it unpleasant to stay outside. Reminds me of March ...
15 Jul, 2012
The othermorning was just like autumn........
15 Jul, 2012
Has been reasonable all day here....like Pixi just a few we spittings of rain - all the washing got dry - that's a good sign. No tumble drier - think this is the first day for almost 2 weeks it hasn't needed to be on.
Mind you - the wind is picking up - it it's not one thing it's another!!!!!

We had a lot of rain this morning but just after mid-day the sun tried to come out...so it looks like a mixture of weather for the next 40 days here in Wuppervalley.

There was an item on the news this morning about this. Apart from the year when St Swithin was buried and it rained for 40 days in a row, there has never been 40 days of identical weather after July 15th since. Another myth I'm afraid.
15 Jul, 2012
Sunny :))))
15 Jul, 2012
Well myth or not I am sick of the cold and rain day after day.
15 Jul, 2012
Dry here all day - sunny at times too! :o)))
15 Jul, 2012
Dry here with quite a bit sunshine:-))
15 Jul, 2012
Lucky you, hope it lasts for you both.

16 Jul, 2012
And here. I'm fed up now. Even for someone who usually enjoys the rain, this is too much :o(
And it's so cold too :o((
16 Jul, 2012
Its getting to me too Hywel, wet and cold day after day.
16 Jul, 2012
Well it was dry all day here yesterday but very wet again today. So much for that myth!
16 Jul, 2012
Not sure but think we had some rain overnight / during the early hours of St Swithin's day, but it was certainly dry during the daytime.
Don't know what to make of that ...
Oh wait, yes I do, it's raining cats and dogs today!
16 Jul, 2012
Same here Rosegit.

Except I LOVE the rain Drc. Went out walking a neightbour's dog this afternoon and the atmosphere was special. It was drizzling but the sky was quite bright, as though the sun was trying to break through, everything was lush and green, and there was a lovely warm breeze.
I revelled in it!
16 Jul, 2012
I like warm soft rain too, but its very cold with torrential downpours day after day that I hate.
16 Jul, 2012
