Morning all,

Ravelin, I'm fortunate to have an extra couple of days holiday because of the Open.....a few months back I was thinking 'that'll be great, I'll get out in the garden....little did I think I'd be lying in bed thinking "thank god I don't need to get up and go out in that."'

Really dismal in NE Fife this morning as the scenes from St Andrews show. It was the intensity of the rainfall rather than the total amount that caused the issues for the Old Course. The rain should clear shortly but wind will be the next issue, likely gusting up to or above 40mph later today and tomorrow.

I see there was 35mm at Strathallan in the 12 hours to 7am. Just as well T in the Park wasn't this weekend!

Just thought of a positive, I'm not going to worry about forgetting to water the garden before I go on holiday. If the forecast is correct I'll not have to hassle the kids to water it whilst I'm away either.

50.4mm of rain overnight here, per the electronic rain gauge.

It's fair to say that, in these parts, this summer has been 'below average'.

Or, to use the technical term, utter p*sh!

Sheesh, that really is awful. Didn't start here until sometime after 6am but as of 11am at Dyce we've had a total of 16.6mm. Hopefully it'll clear us in around an hour looking at the radar, so I'd guestimate we'll top out at around 20mm.

Woke up at about 5am this morning to the sound of thunder and flashes of lightening. Could hardly see the ground for rain splash, it was POURING down. Lots of surface water this morning and localised flooding, when are we going to get summer? This constant grey and coolness is starting to get me down :(

Another poor summer's day!

Relentless heavy rain yet again this morning. Weather's unbelieveably poor lately. Is it ever going to end? Not sure how similair it could be defined as but with how poor it been last 2 weeks sort of July 1988 to me (That was a really poor month at least I think it was)

The extreme summer continues with almost drought conditions in the SE of England and saturated ground in the N and W of the UK.

Just speaking to a neighbour who is at an agricultural show in Caithness where the fields are bogs after first cut silage and the cars having difficulty getting out of the showfield. he said it was lashing rain from time to time and I can see the dark clouds causing it to the north over the Firth.Thankfully the hills are breaking it up for us and we have been mainly dry and breezy today.Currently 14c.

Yes, an extreme with-in the kingdom. Here is Sussex, another sunny warm day with the gardens parched. Fed up of watering the plants. Time to move on to Austria tomorrow. Hope you lot up north get some summer before too long. Not looking good on todays charts. Maybe an Indian summer will come to the rescue ?

Becoming like the 2007 summer which like now rained constantly with low temps. Remember parks the trees changed colour by end of August due to the low temps..

St Andrews 2010 weather delays ( wind ). For a part of Scotland that misses a lot of bad weather it happened then and now this year.. Hoylake in 2006 had a Thunderstorm delay play in 2014 it got similar weather.. Thunderstorms and hot days. Think play was also delayed there in 2014..

I was watching a excellent forecast on Countryfile last night (Matt Taylor presented) Parts of Surrey have had about 3MM of rain so far this month. Glasgow on the other hand has had 40 times that (119MM although will likely rise) Just a bit of cheer for you all ;)

When I left Sussex yesterday, the ground was parched. No rain for weeks, however, things might have changed today. Arrived to a hot evening in Austria and a cold beer!

If snow lies it would be remarkable. I have read that new lying snow has never been recorded (since records have been kept) in Scotland in the last week of July or first week in August.

Is that site reliable? MWIS doesn't, mention lying snow but temps are pretty close to being cold enough at times through till Saturday. It will certainly be interesting to see. Can't do the remaining snow patches much harm either.
