Friday was cloudy and mild and, as forecast, by evening the storm clouds were gathering and threatening something rather spectacular. We had a few claps of thunder and some spots of rain but that was all.
Then in the early hours of Saturday morning it tipped. At 03:42 the rain was falling at 138mm/hr. That’s three times the amount we might expect in the whole of August in an hour. It obviously didn't last that long as, when the storm ended, the total rainfall came to 12.4mm.

Saw the weather forecast was for VERY heavy rain for you. So it didn't come to much. Similarly in Edinburgh, despite all the cloud and threat of rain, it's been less than average and the ground is pretty dry.
ReplyDeletePlenty of dark clouds but not a lot of rain. I'm hoping Saturday morning's rain will at least let me get some ground prepared for winter brassicas.
