Word of the day: verdant - 'green with vegetation; covered with growing trees, plants or grass'.

Have you noticed the verdancy really exploding over the last few days? 🌳🌿

Giving us the boost we need...🤩

Love this word of the day. Our landscape has turned into a verdant oasis over the last few days 🌳🌿

Verdant: green with vegetation, covered with healthy green plants or grass.

Was responsible for the huge rainfall amounts and flooding in / ?

Unlikely.

They’ve been doing it for years and theoretically adds 15-25% extra rain. Very hard to prove on the ground but even take 25% off, it still would have been >yearly rainfall.

Sunny spells and April showers today.

Still chilly in the wind which will be quite blustery, but not as windy as yesterday.
