Still no rain down here in Beckenham either. My arm muscles are developing nicely from humping full watering cans around the garden to keep the tomatoes and other veg going. If it doesn't rain soon,I'll end up with barmaids' shoulders!

Last Friday evening's downpour hit Woodford, which is only two or three miles from Wanstead.

This weather station in Stoke Newington
(hurrah, another set of local data!)
has recorded no rain in the last month
apart from a couple of millimetres last Friday
(a glancing blow, rather than the full-on storm)

Lots of cloud cover in Islington yesterday and the same forecast for today but not broken through into rain just yet.

I'd just made it to the pub in Crouch End on Friday when the heavens opened. It didn't last long, but I thought a second beer was called for - to make sure the storm had passed over.

I was at the cricket last Friday evening at Beckenham and the sky was bizarrely split, with half the sky (to the North and West) covered in a fierce dark cloud, where the other side was still blue sky!

You wouldn't know real drought if it bit you on the arse. Just saying.
BTW - I was expecting lots of 'remember the ladybugs?' posts...

The ground is wet here in Leytonstone, but Wanstead is showing 0mm of rain. Does this mean we've reached a St Swithin's-style event?

Hampstead and Stoke Newington are also showing zero (measurable) rainfall...
...although rainfall radar did show several light showers scattered across London over the last 24 hours. Either they were all very light, or they all missed the measuring locations.

The ground where I live (fairly close to the Hampstead weather station) shows no obvious sign of rain in the area in the last 24 hours.
