Storms?
« on: 10 Aug, 2019, 12:34:30 pm »
Looking at forecast for next week - monday night into tuesday, morning we have a strong chance of thunder, lightning and heavy rain.  Am I the only one hoping this will happen? I'm quite happy to forgo a night's sleep for this.  The ground up here is either set like concrete or dust.

It would be lovely Frankie, unfortunately the percentage of us getting anything decent has dropped. Hey we can always hope though.

A day of nice steady rain would be perfect.

Did anywhere get rain? We didn't here in Terreros, although the clouds look a little threatening, but they did last night too. 🙄

Not a drop so far and the clouds seem to be clearing.  All the windows open this morning though, and a lovely cool breeze going through the house.

Lower temperatures but higher humidity rainfall would be welcome!

It would be welcome, but looking at the forecast, after today, big bright suns and no clouds!

In Limaria at 01:40 this early morning we got about 3 or 4 minutes which was quite heavy; since then a few bits of spits and spots which are currently persisting down with the passing clouds.. not enough to water the plants though   :sad:

Lucky you Drax!  Nothing up on my mountain :huh:
Dead to think what my water bill will be this quarter, as my garden is soaking it up....

That’s what they said last week, so I’ll believe it when I see it.
