Here in S Wales I was expecting a deluge according this morning's BBC
forecasts - but just as happened a couple of weeks ago, the front has
fragmented, with the main rain drifting east over southern and SW
England. I was hoping not to have to water the remaining flower pots
today!!

Cheers

Indeed, I was just thinking the same thing myself.
The rain wasn't expected here until early evening but I wonder
how much I will get now.
A pleasant day at the moment, a reasonable amount of sun.

So what was that heavy rain I saw in Cardiff that washed out the cricket
then? Appeared to be raining on and off all day with just a few overs
bowled.

I really don't know - we have had a couple of storms in the last hour,
but as far east as Bridgend the roads have been virtually dry for the
rest of the day. Was there a line of showers I wonder for Cardiff? I
looked at the Met Office radar - going back to 12noon and there was only
one frame where any blue appeared over Cardiff - apart from tonight's
showers.

It doesn't take more than a few spots to stop a cricket match ;-))

Doesn't that depend on who's side is winning?

Why do English teams insist on playing on grass and or in the open in
matches that can last several days?

Sounds a bit antique for the century, doesn't it?
Is getting a non slip, suitably resilient elastic surface so
difficult?
