While there is generally high pressure to the South of the U.K. as there has been since June things ain’t gonna change, any predictied rain will be weakened before it gets to us, strange the forecasters don’t seem to understand this principle.

As usual today's rain is almost all going north of us and looks to be rapidly breaking up and weakening as it heads south and east!

Don't think we should still have cracks like this still at the beginning of October. Partly covered when we drilled the osr, but still there.

Forecast of rain for Friday has now turned into 'might be a little'. Chance of a light shower over weekend then back into dry for early next week.

same feeling here in Cambs.

The grass only really grew in May here this year, virtually no autumn flush again.

Certainly not here as we never had more than a little mist that never even made the concrete wet!!

2mm is all my rain gauge collected this weekend.
Might just have set the pre ems up.
Certainly hasn't done much else.

25mm here in Lincolnshire on Sunday and a bit more overnight. Seems the wet weather is slowly getting further east. But still yet to reach the far south east, hope you guys get some soon.
