Can you remember the last time it rained?

[Backtrack]

This isn't a question you'll get too often in the UK. But without looking at your weather records, just off the top of your head, can you remember the last time you saw rain?

I know I can't.

[Marcus_surfer]

We had rain in March but I haven't seen torrential rain for quite a while but I know it's coming soon!

[I Cumbria Marra I]

no

[TonyH]

Yes 2 inches in 24 hours 10 days ago.

Wednesday.

From the 13th Feb we went a total of 22 days with less than 5mm of rainfall in Leeds and modelling suggests that bar a surprise snow shower we could be going for 2 weeks or so.

[shuggee]

About ten days ago. Sleety rain off the sea.

[katemart]

Had over 20mm in one day towards the end of March - possibly the same day TonyH mentions. The grass was flooded again so the water table was still pretty high. Very grateful for the current respite although I am SICK of that easterly...

It must have been about a month since it rained here! It's either been snow or bone dry.

[reef]

About 2 hours ago.

[The PIT]

Been Snowing every day and since Snow counts as rainfall it hasn't been dry.

[johnholmes]

22nd March and another light snow shower overnight!

[Lake District Blizzard]

16th March here, then a couple days early march then before that the 13th Feb

[I remember Atlantic 252]

thurs 21st march, around half hour before the snow

[Coast]

25th March, only around 0.2mm but it came on top of a week that gave around 19mm.

[Bottesford]

A week last Fri - very wet sleety rain that was ruddy freezing. Been snow since then.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Sometime between the 17th and 21st March- can't remember the exact date but there were certainly a couple of days within that period that had rain and sleet here. Since the 22nd March, it's all been snow!

[Summer Sun]

Rain March 21st

Snow this morning

[cheeky_monkey]

Here In Calgary the last time it rained was August 24th 2012 believe it or not and the reason i remember it because it was my sons birthday and it was only the 2nd rain day of August..since then the only precip has been snow.

[Stargazer]

Here it was 23 March - rained all day while many others no doubt had snow. We haven't had any measurable snow during this recent cold spell.

Now that is impressive!

[Bobby]

We had 65mm of rain on 23rd March, nowt since.

Looks like that'll be changing soon though.

[Summer Sun]

15 days and counting now since it rained here in Darlo

89mm for the year here

I can't remember the last time it rained on a specific day, but remember it raining before it snowed a few weeks back (maybe mid March?!) I actually welcome an 'April showers' scenario, with 10-14c temps and heavy, thundery showers.

[trickydicky]

I can't remember the last time it even spat with rain here. Since sometime in the first half of March or so all I have had is snow if anything, but mainly sunshine. I love it, though it does look unusually brown round here!

I was watching the Tour of the Basque Country cycling yesterday, it was raining heavily there and the countryside was vividly green and lush looking. Looks like that's where our rain has been! They can keep it for me.

[Harve]

The main reason why it's looking so brown is because the temperature hasn't spent substantial periods above 6c yet.
