Hylander Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Well has anyone got thunderstorms , torrential rain etc. We have been expecting Armageddon all weekend and nothing not even a drop of rain here in the East. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 It's rumbling in east Herts at the moment and looks very gloomy - the plant pots need watering so I hope it does rain! Rained yesterday morning and I managed to wash the car in the rain - saved on rinsing it. First time I have cleaned it for about a year but I had an encounter with a slurry lorry/tractor on the North Walsham to Wayford Bridge road on Wednesday, it came round a bend too fast and the next thing I knew lumps of something unpleasant dropped on my car! After the encounter, the large artic that had been on my backs*de disappeared as well - not sure what happened but I didn't hang around to find out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewcook Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hi Hylander as I live in Essex we've got Thunder & Lighting at the moment as I suspected Rain would follow shortly with a Downpour? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessan Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I think the dire forecast put a lot of local privateers off for this weekend. Usually Saturday and Sunday sees many of the big gin palaces out and about but both yesterday and today have been unusually quiet. Still quite a number of day boats out from WRC and Hipperson’s and wherever they hire from on Oulton Broad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addicted Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Here in Cambs we had a little drizzle this morning but nothing like we have been told to expect fortunately..I'm hoping we dont' get heavy rain as our lillies have just come to fruition and won't take kindly to that.

Turnoar Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Not a drop here in North Norfolk. Been a very sticky humid day but improved as the time passed. Blazing sunshine now! Will have to pump an extra gallon from the well to do the vegetable patch... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Slight drizzle a couple of times briefly in south cambs but mostly sod all, not enough to bother bringing the washing in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Still nothing here ... not a drop. It did get very humid this afternoon and our garden desperately needs some rain ... but I guess that's good news for all the holidaymakers if it's been that way across the Broads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 We had close on 2" of rain no exaggeration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 We almost didn't head out in the van this weekend due to the dire forecast. Glad we ignored it because we had glorious weather, not a drop of rain and had a great weekend in a cracking location. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It’s finally caught up with us in Suffolk, some heavy rain this afternoon. Certainly not so many day boats out today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addicted Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The promised storm finally got us yesterday afternoon. Torrential rain howling winds .The lillies coped alright but the old English roses were a goner sadly. Carole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
