Will they cancel the hosepipe ban? Then again, perhaps there isn't too much need anymore to use hoses.
I remember seeing someone had their sprinklers on several hours before Hurricane Irene hit last August.
The hosepipe ban will stay, but recently it's been a moot point anyway with all the rain. Everything looks a lush green, though probably less of the rain actually percolated down than normally so groundwater levels are still fairly low.
Actually I half-remembered London had a national record for the longest (or 'longest-recorded', to be precise - somewhere in the Lake District/western Highlands/Snowdonia would almost certainly have beaten it unrecorded) single-event rainfall duration so I've just looked it up - 58.5 hours of continuous rain at Camden Square in June 1903 We only got half of that this weekend and it felt like it was going on forever.
Yeah, for a dry place London seems to get these really big dumps of rain every now and again - the last time we exceeded 20mm in one day was July 2009 and one inch - I don't even remember it's been so long.
A high of 75 today is not bad, but probably hitting close to 80 the rest of the week?!
