Wet and Wild on Ravens Low Flat, Goyt Moss, Derbyshire
Very nearly the mid point of July with the year rapidly slipping past mid summer, as yet no real respite in this run of wet weather. June ended up as the wettest on record and July has to be well on the way to another record breaker.
Over recent weeks we have often described the rains as monsoon like. True it is exceptionally heavy at times; but I guess it is rather insulting to those who have to live through proper monsoons….not sure how you manage – obviously of sterner stuff than us.

No, not here in North Germany. Rain, wind, cold for weeks now. I hope it will change during the next months. Has to! Fingers crossed.

” Has to! “……I really hope so, we cannot just slide on down to winter (can we?) 🙂

We will get a beautiful “late” summer and a golden autumn and we the slide on down to a crystal clear winter with lots of blue sky, ice and snow… (I just ordered this via my direct communication link to the weather gods) 🙂

Nothing new… here too. Although I am not complaining wqhen it’s ‘only’ 18º. But clouds, lots of wind and rain don’t look too much like summer.
As for your photo, David… it could be a Van Goh, seeing the colours and the clouds in the sky.

As a city person this is why I travel (and not too far for us) to see open horizons 🙂
