Bloody hell. Some forecast this morning suggesting another 5 weeks or so of dry very warm conditions for the region. Was at the Rock & Bike festival in Derbyshire this last weekend. Baking hot on friday, about 8 pm, it pissed down for a couple of hours. Walked out of the marquee in the middle of Big Countrys set just to stroll around in the rain. Lovely it was too.

| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

No never heard of that one. The weather model is the ECM and is one of many discussed by weather geeks on forums at netweather. I don't contribute by the way but think I stumbled upon a thread there from one of our own!! Ok got you! (In a infowars vein)Wish I hadn't searched for that as got one of those dodgy you have won a prize pop ups! [Post edited 16 Jul 2018 16:56]

Waterbutt Watch on 17:01 - Jul 16 with 3618 views | Luk38644 | I've never known it this dry in my lifetime, we desperately need some rain! I was cutting my grass twice a week all summer last year, I've cut it twice in the last 6 weeks. It's just not growing and there is no point watering it if we have no rain anytime soon because it will dry out again in a day or two. I hope when it does rain, it pours! Even our well is empty after all that winter rain/snow, that's how much we've used to substitute the rain! | | | |

Agreed. The grass will always recover once we have substantial rain. My garden is extremely dry but I certainly wouldn't water any of it other than the vegetables and plants in pots and tubs. I don't ever use a hose either. I don't have a butt but I have an annoying overflow drip from my downstairs toilet which I put a bucket under and use the water on the garden! | | | |

Thunderstorms are forecast for tomorrow afternoon. Yes tubbs need watering twice a day in this extreme heat. Everybody should have at least one butt. | | | |

Waterbutt Watch on 22:34 - Jun 19 by Vic | They’re in tomorite grow bags and have had one feed of tomorite feed a couple of weeks ago when the second truss set. It’s only a couple of plants, in 2 different grow bags so all getting same water and feed. Pinewood - I could look at other sites via google, but thought the info I got on here would be far superior to anything I could get on a proper, professional gardening site. |
I have my tomatoes in hanging baskets and I’m finding I need to water them twice a day to stop them wilting but also if you say you’ve only fed them once in 2 weeks then that’s not enough, recommendations on the tomato feed I have are to feed once or twice per week after the 2nd truss has set, since I started doing that about 3 weeks ago mine have an abundance of fruit appearing that is growing by the day, and still loads more flowers appearing each day. It’s going to be a bumper crop this year (and probably loads for my neighbour when I’m away in 3 weeks time) | |

Slightly cooler at weekend (27/28°C)......then probably even hotter next week! Definitely not hedge cutting weather so keep drinking that water. Edit. Well according to 'weatherwars' D(r)yland anyway! [Post edited 23 Jul 2018 6:48]
