Afternoon All, the main rain area has moved past now. The overnight low of 3.4°C at: 00:07 has risen to 11.3°C, RH97% and a light breeze from the SW.
From Above the earlier (12:05) sat shot, shows the back edge of the main rain bearing cloud as it pulls away SE.
Over a week away but who knows maybe it'll happen.

RIGHT, so this weeks rain is brought to you care of @jtay who wished this upon the area, when posting:

"Too late" we all cried.

Thought I was getting a day off today, but arrived at Mum's to be told that I needed to get on her flat root to fix the guttering and clean her uPVC cladding.
Weather was much nicer down there. Bit of Sun and warmth at various points.
Isn't that what Mothers Day are for?

It DID eventually rain, but even now it is around and not over:

Does that mean it's not coming now?

*Stormforce~beka* Have a read of the enclosed:
Lavender Care - Downderry Nursery
DOWNDERRY-NURSERY.CO.UK
Lavender plant care including pruning advice.Its also worth looking at a high potash feeder, something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chempak-High-Potash-Fertiliser-Formula/dp/B00K6GWJCK/ref=sr_1_6?sr=8-6
To hopefully bring it on, make sure it's not going to get too much water in the the mean time.
@jtay please feel free to shut me up if I am providing anything wrong in trying to resuscitate the sad looking lavender.

That's looking very much like a miss:

Im tough enough Dorset to go into such places but what of the Polar Bears they are being moved to Bed and Breakfast rooms in local hotels.
Crikey they'll be lucky, the local small hotels are either burning down or being knocked down. The B.I.C would make a good Polar bear home, right next to the Aquarium and the penguins!

*Stormforce~beka* Anything you can break, like plant pots (not plastic) , plates, cups, bricks, you name it, I suspect you might have a better chance if you put it in a pot, given that we are due to see more rain over the next 5 days or so. A friendly garden centre might have some broken pots, you only need a little if you put it in a pot to try and bring it on.

Does it look dead to you? It was only new last year!
Do a quick test, select a twig of lavender bend it, if it breaks then could well be dead, but if it bends and doesn't snap there's a fair chance it's slow in getting its act together. Lavender is quite hardy temperature wise, so I'd not really think the cold has killed , more like the excess of rain. JTAY has given you the good info.

Morning All, it's one of those have everything days it seems. It's windy, overcast, no wait a brighter spell, no wait heavy drizzle now.
The overnight low of 10.1°C at: 06:42, has hauled itself slowly up to 11.3°C, RH92% with a fresh breeze in from the SSW - W.
A perfect day to remove any cobwebs with a walk along the pier.
