June 1997
Thunder overnight (apparently). Overcast, hot and humid in the morning. Poured with rain and got very dark from 9.45 to about 11am.
June 13th. Raining heavily in the morning, took the umbrella.
June 19th. Rained most of the day.
June 20th. Greyed over gradually, and at lunchtime began to rain heavily - continued till 6.30pm at least.
June 21st. Cycled back through wet black streets, with evening glow lingering in the sky even at 10.30.
June 22nd. Rained most of the day.
June 23rd. Raining again in the morning.
June 25th. Rain again.
June 26th. Still more rain. I think I might start building an ark. It's rained every day since the 19th - 8 days, exceptional in my opinion. Those ducks that were on the lawn a couple of weeks back returned this evening, with 8 ducklings.
June 27th. Rain again - heavy at lunchtime with the drains in the High St backing up, and water pouring out of the storm drains into the river.
June 28th. Mowed the lawn, which hasn't half grown with all the rain.

Hot and windy - peculiar, unpleasant sort of weather. It started to rain at 5pm, got wet on my way home. Very warm and humid. Noticed that the water in all the puddles was yellow: suspected continental pollution borne on the East wind we've been having for at least a week, but on realising that the washing on the line was still clean, deduced that the rain had washed yellow boulder clay dust into the puddles, the amount of dust due to the length of time since it last rained.
