Left the races just in time in Trentham. It is now tipping it down in Porirua. :thumbup: Just got the washing in. ;) Was extremely hot in Upper Hutt over lunchtime, then thankfully it clouded over. Could almost hear the audible sigh from the thousands of people there!

We had a two minute dribble in Christchurch this evening, not enough to even wet my washing that was on the line and certainly not enough to give the Canterbury Plains a drink...:D

Re: Is it raining anywhere?
 

We were hoping for rain as one of our tanks is bone dry and the other rapidly getting that way! :eek:...... so today its dribbled a bit on and off.... may have added a litre or so into the tanks. :( Can somebody send some our way please?! Ta! :D

Hang in there it's the same here, it's just a little worse.:rofl::D

We've got large (Mum's loving) veggie gardens that need huge amounts of water every day!:eek:

Our drinking water supply from a rain water collection system - a hoooooorrible taste!:frown::eek: this-is-what-i-call-cr*p

We've been making hard effort to save "precious water" (in every way we can;)).

Life is not easy for any of us

Re: Is it raining anywhere?
 

Clear blue skies here in Hawkes Bay, gale force winds & very,very hot:shades_smile:

Re: Is it raining anywhere?
 

you can have our rain too if you like, here in machester it has only just let up raining after days of the stuff, the river roach near us burst its banks, and then to make me really miserable this morning i thought great no rain as i went out to take my little lad to school when we got the car i couldnt even open the doors to get in it as they were frozen shut:curse:
we get rain wind frost freezing cold but no sunshine, boohoo:(

Re: Is it raining anywhere?
 

Not really Yotty. This area gets a reasonable amount of rain. Christmas seems to be a favorite time for the heavens to open. :p
We've just been through two days of torrential storms , complete with gale force winds. There was a weather warning.

Poxy storm has flattened my tomato plants , knocked branches off my plum tree and taken out most of the flowers on the pomegranate tree. :thumbdown:

Husband had to abandon work the past two days due to the extreme weather.

All back to sunshine today though. Just in time for the rugby this Friday [crusaders v hurricanes in Motueka] &, my favorite summer event Shakespeare in the Park this Sunday.
