A Drop of Rain

As forecast we had some rain on Friday. It rained on and off through most of the day giving us a total of 8.0mm (0.31in) by late afternoon when it stopped. It's brought our monthly May total up to 17.0mm (0.67in) but still well short of our average of around 50mm or 2in.
Temperature & Rainfall Records for 25 May 2018
It was the first day this month with zero hours of sunshine and oddly whilst it was one of the lowest daytime temperatures of the month it was the mildest night.

It will be interesting to see how the rainfall has affected the ground at the allotment and if some of those hard, dry and cracked beds can now be dug over. I suspect that our vegetables will have enjoyed a drink of rainwater rather than tap water.
