[Albion] Very dry isn’t it

[LamieRobertson]

The only small mitigation is that it's not been that hot (yet). Went to the allotment yesterday - first time in a week. Thought I'd have to water but actually plants were coping.

I agree a hopepipe ban is needed. The water companies will be terrified having just hiked everybody's bills, but it's the right thing to do IMO.

There’s been a keen N/NE breeze for most of the last couple of months….thats kept temps down

 

[LamieRobertson]

Not at all - we have had temperatures in the 20s here and no rain for several months. Everyone’s lawn is going brown. I actually leave my grass longer to help wildlife.

Oh hang on..saw the Z and confused you with another posters name beginning with Z that is local to me apologies.

Here lawns are green

I live in East Anglia - it’s the driest region in England. And temperatures here have been in the 20s.

Yes I know…that’s why I said I’d thought you were another posters name local to me…and that reply was to another poster

I thought this thread was about Ann Widdicombe's MINNIE MOO

Nah that’s super juicy

 

[TomandJerry]

Definitely dry

They've predicted rain now on Wednesday - it's because I've booked the day off work

 

[TomandJerry]

But then again if we look back to 1931 it's not an anomaly

Is this caused by that central heating I keep hearing about?

No, I reckon it's the gays. I definitely remember some US politician blaming extreme weather conditions on them a few years ago.

What have we done to deserve this?

Turns out it's not just US politicians or evangelical leaders. They walk among us too.

Great that we're finally getting some rain. So needed. The symbols over the next week or so are deceptive though - mostly the odd shower some days (if that it seems) and still plenty of sun where it'll still feel warm. Bbc temps for brighton are so often forecast low. met office is more accurate, predicting a few degrees higher.

The summer rain thing of unpredictability. It couldn’t end up several inches of rain or a smidgeon. Unlike autumn/winter low pressure systems forecast to deliver rain and they do.
