Anyone else having a really wet spring?

Nope, we have had dry weather for a while now. The last few days have been hot and stuffy. The weather forecast shows we might get rain a week from tomorrow.

Remember UK homes are not built for heat, homes retain heat, it was okay when there was a breeze but now the air is still.

I'm not a fan of hot weather so not overly happy atm!.

Plus rain might deal with all the bird poo on the paths, honestly it's horrible.

We only had 2 days when it rained in May but thankfully it’s in the forecast for today. I just hope it’s a substantial all day downpour, we really need it.

Our winter was very wet and now our May and June have been gloomy. They said San Diego was the cloudiest city in May, and so far June has been the same. No more heavy rains, but we have been still getting light showers every now and then. And then they say El Niño is coming. Wonderful! Not! Lol!

I hope you get some relief soon and the sun comes out!

Well you and I are in the same state.. the rain has been NUTS.. more rain that I have ever seen in over 20 years. In one way I LOVE LOVE it.. but I am a little over it. 

Did you know we (as in my city) it poured again for a few minutes this morning.  And then sunny.. I'm downtown and now watching clouds coming in.  Not sure if they are just floating by or here for another storm.  

I love my usually barely hanging on yard.. this year I haven't even turned on the sprinklers... MID JUNE and no sprinklers!!

There was a news piece on tv this morning about how the southern part of our province hasn't had moisture since April ... and that farmers are expecting a lot of crops to be complete write offs. That's not going to help with the price of food, that's for sure! There's been rain in the more central/northern areas, but almost everything has missed where I am in the middle, and with the forest fire smoke and a bunch of heat warning days, it's just been a miserable 'spring'. But according to our provincial government, climate change has nothing to do with any of that, so I'm sure everything will just work itself out

We are dry, dry dry. We had a total of 3/10ths of an inch of rain for the month of May. That is a huge deficit for us. We have only had a few sprinkles at our house in June.

I'm in central NYS and we have the same thing.

Supposedly, it's supposed to rain all afternoon and night here so we'll see.

Colorado Pea here, so yes Nancy, it has been so uncommonly wet this spring and I hate it! I'm totally over it. I love it to be hot and dry! It's summer and I want to go outside, go to the pool, go hiking, go enjoy the new backyard and deck that we just spent many tens of thousands of dollars on--but we can't because there's always a threat of rain and severe weather and it's chilly and the mosquitos are awful.

My youngest son missed almost his entire soccer season in April-May because they kept having to cancel or close the fields for snow and rain. Oldest son is playing lacrosse and keeps having to practice on a squishy muddy field because it never dries out. He is scheduled for a game this afternoon but it may get canceled.

The lawn is greener than ever and growing like crazy but it's hard to get it dry enough to mow between rainstorms. We had roof damage due to the May 10 storm and all the subsequent hailstorms haven't helped matters.

People keep saying they love the cool wet weather and that it will keep the fires away but I'm not so sure about that. What all the rain will do instead is cause all the fuel plants and brush to grow like crazy so that if it ever does dry out and get hot, there's even more fuel for the fires to burn!

We had a really long winter, and no spring to speak of. Our first 70 degree day happened in early May, which was quite late. Two days later, it was 90. It's been pretty consistently in the upper 70s or low 80s since, which is more like summer for us. It rained a little a couple days this week and that was the first time in quite a while. I'm worried about fire season. 

Meanwhile, I've been in Monterey and Santa Cruz a lot in the same time period and it hasn't been sunny once. It's barely been in the 60s!

Yes have been floating away. In the last month we have gotten over 1/2 our yearly average. Right now, my county is considered a disaster area because of flooding.

We’ve been very dry until recently. There are some local berry farms that have not had crops because it’s been too dry.

I have cousins in the Borger and Amarillo, TX areas and they’ve had a very wet spring, while it’s usually dry there.

Extremely dry. DH has been sleepless over the lack of grass in pastures (it's going fast). Those that harvest hay said the first cutting was 2/3 of normal.

Last year we had timely rains that saved the crops. I mean TIMELY. We actually had a very good harvest.

We had some rains this spring that have brought the crops up, but we really need significant moisture now. DH is in 'protect' mode. We prescription plant our row crops, and he went very light on sandy areas (we need corn to produce an ear, to make feed - if they are too close, and drought stressed - no corn).

The subsoil moisture is non-excitant. Nothing. That is an indicator that we are in trouble.

I know there is a weird weather pattern. Jet Stream, El Nino, La Nina ..

Much weather has come at us from East to West or South East to North West - which is weird. That is due to a big high pressure over northern Canada.

Well, I am in Denver, so yes! I kind of like it but my vegetable garden is pissed. Everything is struggling to get going. Just my luck- everything will finally start growing by August and then we will get an early freeze in September and kill everything off. Gardening, especially growing vegetables in Colorado is not for the fainthearted. Last year we had a stupid giant hailstorm that decimated everything midsummer.
