Desert Raunds.
I've just done a rain dance in garden to appease the precipitation
gods, only 9.9mm in Raunds so far this month, spent hours nearly cying in frustration at rainfall radar, as storm after storm just shaves us. Lots of sheet lightning to se and e, plenty of thunder 8.30pm to 10pm, but not a drop of rain, seems the storm cluster over northen home counties, and cambs dying a death now, as is my lawn. Ian |

Ian And Desert Suffolk continues...Mid Suffolk :- 3 hours of cloud, thunder and frequent lightning from NW to NE and 20 seconds of drizzle sized raindrops. Nothing in guage. Also last Sunday, Cloud increased in afternoon, a squall - and 30 seconds worth of drizzle sized drops, no thunder heard then. Nothing in guage. I hear that there was standing water on the fields in Ely (Cambs) this afternoon. NSS. |

Great light show and thunder here in Moulton, Ian.
At least 2 seperate storms heading north east from here so you may get them. Little if any rain. Jim "Ian" wrote in message oups.com...

writes I've just done a rain dance in garden to appease the precipitation gods, only 9.9mm in Raunds so far this month No such problems here - we've had 63mm, albeit 50mm of that fell in only 12 hours early in the month. -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham (change 'invalid83261' to 'blueyonder' to email me) |
