This is what the Met Office promised us for tonight.

I was sooo looking forward to it; a decent size thunderstorm and rain to water the garden too.
But no. I saw a couple of lightning strikes, one of which was really quite impressive in all fairness, and there’s been a minimal amount of rain. The latter is quite frustrating given that I didn’t water anything outside in the veggie plot this evening on the basis that if they’re forecasting rain for seven or eight hours you’d like to think that a worthwhile amount would fall.
