Is that, that it has been raining here in Glasgow for now?
Not gone of my rocker, just trying to reset some settings in my profiles!

Perhaps it's luck or maybe it's just my rose-tinted memory. Over the last four years I've spent 4-7 weeks a year in Scottish waters, and not had rain more than two days a week. Mind you, when I get home, the ground is waterlogged and all the plants have been flattened by the gales.

We've been waiting 2 months for summer weather to return and it looks as though Tuesday's the day. Now SWMBO has taken to her bed with flu. :mad:
 
the weather will probably improve on Tuesday as that is the day I am back to work!
Has this been the wettest summer in living memory?
 
According to the forecasts I have seen, Tuesday off Helensburgh is to be rough to very rough - I was going up to the boat just to see if she was still there, but it looks as if it will be later in the week!

I can't speak for Glasgow, but in Dumfries it was fine until the schools broke up and it has rained almost every day - sometimes non stop - since then. By my reckoning that is 11 weeks.
 
65 days and counting....

Are you sure you don't mean weeks? It certainly feels like it. I reckon it's all tied into the hurricane season over the other side of the pond.
 
Hi C_W,
no comfort to you but our local rag here in Galway reports that we have had the wettest July and August since records began, but surprisingly due to a dry June our rainfall in 2009 is less than last year.

It only feels like weeks. Today is looking hopeful with blue sky between the clouds..

Jeez, Burma had a drier monsoon season than our summer in 2008, 2007 ....
 
Woke up at 5am today to the gentle sound of (another) downpour. Eventually trudged to the inevitable delayed train around 8am, having to negotiate the flooded streets first and seriously wondered why do I bother? After a great start to the season, it's been bloody awful ever since.

This is what April provided us:
 
Yes, June was very nice
