Gardian Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 At last.After about 5 months with hardly a drop, it's bucketing down just now & forecast to be on and off for the rest of the week - which is just the way you want it for everything to get a really good soaking. This follows several weeks of clear blue skies 30C-ish daytime. Not good news now for the Easter holidaymakers, but then I'm not a tourist. [;-)]With all the gloom and doom about global warming and drought, I'm a firm believer in Mother Nature evening things up ..............in her own time!

Théière Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Its because I am on my way to France, (or so the family say) [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Unfortunately the typical 'Mediterranean' downpour doesn't help all that much as a lot tends to run off quickly without soaking in.We need a few weeks solid drizzle..about the length of Thière's stay [6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaymwa Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 only a few drops in this part of 24, not even enough to wet the ground :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 [quote user="Keni"]Can you send some this way please? :)[/quote]If I knew where "this way" was, then I'd be happy to send a bit your way.[:)]Actually Norman, it is pretty close to the steady drizzle that you mentioned. Whilst pleased about the rain, I'm gutted for the local restaurateurs - they've been gearing up for opening this week after the winter and a good Easter with plenty of clients at outside tables. Forecast = iffy.If you're in that business, you never get that revenue back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
