We've had no rain since our return to Brighton on the 4th of this month, in fact we've had nothing but hot sunshine. But now it looks as if we'll have nothing but rain for the next week or so. As you can see below, we are supposed to have storms on Sunday, then rain for as long as the forecaster can predict; at least until the 24th.
Even so, I don't like rain. As much as I hate snow, I would almost prefer it to rain. Of course I love the sight and sound of pukka torrential rain, especially if accompanied by thunder and lightning, it can be wonderful to watch. But the average light, wetting, relentless, stuff we usually get is tedious to say the least.
Weather forecasters are notoriously wrong most of the time, so all this predicted wet weather is not really guaranteed; we shall soon see!

Get the ill-fitting hat replaced before the rains start!
I hope if it does rain there's not too much of it. Just enough to wear your Barbour and wellies and lull you with a pitter patter on the roof
Your summer in France has meant that you've avoided much of the dismal rainy summer that many of us have had here on England. Welcome to catching up with our weather now!
'Tis a little moist up here too.
I am so looking forward to the rain that may come in October. 30 degrees all week and the air conditioner works from morning to evening.
I might go today; my current one is useless.
I like to hear heavy rain at night; not so keen in daytime.
Yes, it was hot and dry for the entire 3 months we were away.
I've just checked, the storms for tomorrow have now been cancelled, but we should still have some rain.
We were saying the same thing when we were in France, we were really looking forward to some rain.
We have finally had some rain - mostly over night - but not enough to do much good, and the worst thing is the high humidity that follows. We certainly don't want the floods that they seem to be having everywhere in Europe.
Currently it's 24ºC and forecast to be mostly sunny.
I love the rain when it first arrives but soon get tired of it. Don't listen to the forecast's they are often wrong. Briony

It's 21 C here, and a lovely sunny day. Billy's been swimming in the sea this morning.
They've already changed their minds about the storm. Now just light rain. I never trust them.
Good. I like it to rain in the south of England.
Dull, chilly, windy and our street lights last night came on at ten past seven.. Yes Autumn's here with a vengeance.
Something I read that sticks in my brain, some people walk in the rain, some just get wet.
So do we; once or twice a year!
It does sound as if it arrives here tomorrow.
It is chilly here. Yesterday morning we had our first frost warnings of the year.
Gosh, that sounds very early. I hope we won't see frost here for quite some while.
The weather is hard to predict. I thought we'd get a few stormy days with hurricane Lee. Heavy rain with wind would be the norm. It is very light misty rain with puffs of wind now and again. At least we have coolness instead of high heat.
Instead of the predicted storms, I have woken this morning to clear skies, and windy.
Rain, hail, shine - isn't that the lot of dog urban dog owners who need to get outside with Muttly a couple of times a day? At least you're prepared for the onslaught!
