Phew. What a relief. 15:43 - Aug 8 with 1904 views | Dubtractor | Happy to report it is raining in Ipswich, was really worried we might get a hosepipe ban. This summer can get in the bin. |  |

Phew. What a relief. on 15:56 - Aug 8 with 1840 views | DJR | In Kent and Sussex, we've had one for about 7 weeks now. On the other hand, there hasn't been much need for a hosepipe these last few weeks. [Post edited 8 Aug 2023 15:57]

Yeah, but most of your water pi**es out of the pipes into the subsoil before it even gets to Kent and Sussex. You've only yourselves to blame. |  |

75% of the water comes from groundwater and only 8% from transfers from other water companies. Rather than a lack of water, the issue is that the infrastructure hasn't been upgraded to cope with additional housing etc. Indeed, there were even thousands without water for several days before Christmas, and that had nothing to do with the weather.

…is the best weather. You get to wear your big coat, but don’t have to put your hood up. Lovely. |  |

Rain is fine, important in fact, and as a gardener I'm usually pleased to see it. But best weather? You get in the bin too. |  |

Liking rain is the meteorological equivalent of having grey as your favourite colour. Or Coldplay as your favourite band. |  |

Fall, you may know it as Autumn, provides the very best weather. I will not be taking questions or comments on this. |  |

Autumn is the worst season. Everything dies. Gets incrementally colder and darker each day. Oh, but the leaves look nice....... |  |
