.... I was just going to write .... " what, no rain last night? ", then
I looked at the radar sequence, and noted that indeed the rain we got
this end of the county [ 0.6 mm here and Hurn ] was part of a linear
formation (orientated NW/SE) that moved bodily north and developed
slightly - completely missing out west Dorset.

Just goes to show that it's not just 'severe' convection that can't be
predicted to small-scale accuracy (see other threads) - even standard
rain-bands are difficult (and always have been of course!)

Wonderful clouds going your way, Robin: mid level Cu and low level Sc (I
think!). Still no rain here and maybe none to come today. Temp now
19.9C, Dp15.4C, sunny between the Cu.

Martin, No substantial rain here since the 17.6mm on the 25th June. But
I'm hopeful of a drop or two in the next days. Luckily we are on a slope
here with the garden terraced. Water is always just under the surface
and never seems to dry out.

Hi-yes I did notice but was simply screwed down by work issues. Also
increasingly angry that I could not water the garden so am determined
to arise at 0500 and get to work in the harden rather than 0530 at
work as was the case this morning.. I have to do to Bedford tomorrow
evening.
I am hoping for something at the start of next week. besides, a good
watering now and lower temps will keep me happier whilst away. The
growth in the garden is quite stunning

I was really angry about this and especially grumpy at work (all day!)

Nothing significant since the 26th June
