Remember them all night rains

[TNHermit]

Remember when you would get those nice soft all night soaking rains. Does anybody get those anymore. It doesn't rain for weeks here and then we get 3,4,5,6, inches in a day. I can't remember when the last time we had an all night soaker

[Danaus29]

This spring we had rain that lasted for days. It was a gentle soft soaking rain but the ground was so saturated it wouldn't hold any more.

Yep, I think it rained almost every day in May, just showers. The garden is doing great as a result.

Yes we still get them sometimes it seems like they start late Sept. and end in July.

We've gotten both types this year. A couple of gully washers and then long dry...and we've gotten a couple of nice 24 hour soaks. I love those...good sleeping weather.

We've been dry for about a week now (I'm actually thinking about watering the lawn before it withers up) but we're due for 3 days of "scattered thunderstorms" which usually means a decent type of rain.

We've also had both types this year. One of the features I really want when we build is a screened in sleeping porch off the bedroom. Of course it has to have a tin roof! I had a Great Aunt in TN who had a tin roofed sleeping porch and I used to beg to sleep out there. There is nothing like it when it rains long and gently!

We had one last night. Perfect! Garden was watered well and I slept good.

We get those in the fall season, in the Spring and Summer we got too many frontal boundaries to deal with.

You must live close to me!

Yes, we still get them.

It's feast or famine in this part of TN also.

Rain what's that? Not everyone is enjoying plentyful rain. This has been a tough few months here is south Miss as far as rain goes. May was dry, no rain to speak of. First of June we got a real gulley washer, but since that none to speak of in June. July is starting out to be more of the same.

I've managed to keep to garden going watering it, since I have a small one, but it certainly is not thriving. I don't remember having this long of a dry spell before, we always had a dry month in the summer, but this has been much worse. The ground is so dry and the grass has been dead since I don't water it. Hope it ends soon.

Rain - what is that? We haven't even had enough to clean the windhield.

I haven't gotten a goot rain in months. Our last big storm I heard that they got 3" in town. I happened to be going to town that day, and coming back the rain seemed to almost stop about a mile before my house. My gauge read .05", yes, I typed it correctly. 1 hundredth of an inch.

Spring & early Summer - constant rain and overcast skies. Two weeks ago somebody shut off the faucet and now we are under burn advisories. This has been one strange year.
