I was out today (only a couple of miles away) and it rained quite a bit so I was pleased that I wouldn`t need to water the garden. When I got home, the place was completely dry. The showers are very localised.
I was in Argentina the other day and it absolutely *** with rain and I have never seen lightning like it. The rain has followed me home - it is now pouring which is just in time for my walk tomorrow.
