Yes, I do realise really that a few days' heavy rain won't sort it all out. And that summer thundershowers actually pretty much are the wrong sort of rain.
Drought is a serious thing, and even if the current weather won't "fix" it, I assume it will at least help - the ground near my office that was all cracked and crispy and starting to form fissures a fortnight ago is looking considerably healthier. So it is a good thing that it's raining at the moment.
It's just particularly galling to have to get completely changed due to drenching when there's a hosepipe ban :) I await the day that one of those buses with a "We are in drought" advert on the side will spatter me with puddle-water!
