Huge rain drops now - the sort that make a bubble in puddles/ponds.

[Mapantz]

Up to a devastating 1mm now.

Hmmm, let me check. No, still @ 0.0mm here.

I want rain, the grass is too yellow and the bushes/trees aren't looking too ripe

No rain here yet! A friend down in Bournemouth tells me it is looking monstrous towards the Purbecks and the west? Lets see..

Back to sunshine with light fluffy clouds.  Lovely warm evening.  Just making gin & tonics and sit outside watching the blackbirds fighting!!!

Rain damped soil down a bit so not watering today.

Consecutive days without rain. It would have been 15 after tonight's rollover, but it's equaled it with 14 due to 2mm of rain falling. 

[CheesepuffScott]

Just felt one drop..
