The forecast said showers! by onewing

The forecast said showers!

Today has been a truly miserable day weatherwise. Unfortunately, I had to go out this morning and it bucketed down. Fortunately the heavy rain was short-lived, but it has been pretty cold and rainy for most of the day. I am hibernating now until the weather improves.

In case you are wondering what this is a picture of, it is the windscreen of my car and the headlights of the cars coming towards me. Needless to say I didn’t get out of the car until the rain eased.

I can only say that the quality of the "shower head" is beyond the expectation.

I am lying in bed now Babs, playing with my phone and listening to the rain and thunder. Hopefully the British summer will be back soon.

Mmm not much better here!!!

We are getting the rain and thunderstorms today, it's been raining all night, but the Garden looks lovely and fresh.

Lovely abstract image Babs, Its raining here as I post this, forecast sunny this afternoon will look for inspiration then;)

Roll on Spring, says she who is heading off to the snow tomorrow.
July 19th, 2014  
Send it our way please Babs :-)

Wow - it's been a while since i've seen rain like that. Don't think i would like to be driving in it though.
July 19th, 2014  
wet!
July 19th, 2014  
@annied Hope you are better soon Annie. Keep wrapped up.
July 19th, 2014  
@yaorenliu Luckily it didn't pour like that for long.
July 19th, 2014  
@macromover I love a good thunder storm, but only when it is hot and in summer. I remember English summers.
July 19th, 2014  
@gigiflower The heavy rain didn't last too long, but it has been bloody freezing all day.
July 19th, 2014  
@tonygig Our garden doesn't look fresh. With rain like this the garden gets flattened. Luckily it didn't last long.
July 19th, 2014  
@pcoulson Luckily I was inside the car and although it rained on and off all day, it only poured like this for a short time.
July 19th, 2014  
@wanabe Wrap up warm Meredith. You are braver than I am going to the snow.
July 19th, 2014  
@hermann You are welcome to it. Didn't last long but we had a few mm I think.
July 19th, 2014  
@darthkitty Luckily the downpour didn't last too long. Just bucketed down like this for about 10 minutes and then the rained eased off to light rain for the rest of the day. Quite windy and cold too.
July 19th, 2014  
It's strange here on 365 with us all in the throes of different weather. We had rain this morning but it's so hot and humid, unusual for England and hope it dos not last.
July 19th, 2014  
@lynnz Pretty wet, even got webbed feet. ha ha.
July 19th, 2014  
Raining here in Bristol Babs. Nice shot.
July 19th, 2014  
Aah, seems like you sure are getting your fair share of rain Babs! Wonderful shot nonetheless!
July 19th, 2014  
We are sweltering here!
July 19th, 2014  
That looks a bit like yesterday here!
July 19th, 2014  
Wow that is a lot of rain
July 19th, 2014  
Mmm we've had a few thunder storms with this sort of rain over the past couple of days but it has definitely been a bit warmer. Although only a week ago it was almost 20 degrees cooler here at about 13 degrees! Hope you are able to come out of hibernation soon!
July 19th, 2014  
Beautiful here Babs. See the blue sky in my pics ha ha ha
July 19th, 2014  
@bristol_colin Thanks Colin. I suppose here in Australia we are lucky that even in winter it isn't bad weather every day and I am sure it will be warmer again in a few days. When there is snow at Barrington Tops the cold air always filters down to the coast.
July 20th, 2014  
@quietpurplehaze Yes Hazel, I remember that when it got hot in the UK you always got the humidity. That is the killer. Our humid and hot month is February. The rest of the summer it is just hot and that is lovely.
July 20th, 2014  
@lilminimonka Thanks Brianna. The real downpour didn't last too long, but it is still grey and miserable.
July 20th, 2014  
@neatz I would love sweltering. We don't get a lot of really cold days in winter here, but what we do get is enough as we aren't used to it.
July 20th, 2014  
@kwiksilver Roll on Spring.
July 20th, 2014  
@lpot1985 According to our rain gauge it was only 9 mm rain, but the real downpour didn't last too long, just reduced to drizzle for the rest of the day. roll on Spring.
July 20th, 2014  
@paulaw You summer can be almost as bad as our winter sometimes. At least in our winter it isn't freezing every day and I am sure the sun will shine again soon. Australia makes you soft, ha ha. Going to friends for lunch today so will be out of hibernation for a while.
July 20th, 2014  
@terryliv Okay Terry, don't rub it in. ha ha. It is still miserable today too. The rain has more or less stopped though.
July 20th, 2014  
Yuk!! After suffering through the full frontal attack of winter over the past few weeks I have worked out why bears hibernate. Love the shot Babs, fills the bill well.
July 20th, 2014  
So cold here too Babs, but not really any rain.
July 20th, 2014  
You could always come to Spain for part of your winter! We've spare rooms!
July 20th, 2014  
Ps. If I squint I can see 2 owls under the water!
July 20th, 2014  
@golftragic Thanks Marnie, still pretty grey today, but not the downpour of yesterday. Our rain gauge said 9 mm rain, but I would have guessed more.
July 20th, 2014  
@elaine55 I think this is the coldest winter we have had for a few years.
July 20th, 2014  
@chimfa May take you up on that offer next year Jane. What is it they say "Never give an Aussie your address, you will never get rid of them".
July 20th, 2014  
@chimfa I can see the owls too, ha ha.
July 20th, 2014  
@onewing I will second that about the cold Babs!
July 20th, 2014  
oh no, time to go home.
July 20th, 2014  
Looks awful..but a wonderful capture of it hahahah!
July 20th, 2014  
HMMMMMM
July 20th, 2014  
@onewing Probably horizontal rain!
