I'd describe my garden as very well drained. My dad ran a series of drainage channels over the garden - I helped dig!
Yesterday, it was like a bog, with water lying on the surface in puddles. We didnt have much rain in the afternoon, so I managed a few hours work. I was pruning an overgrown Pyracantha (the ouch plant!), and close by, the garden was like a paddling pool.
Watching Match of the Day (soccer) last night, the rain was pouring down in nearly every match. We appeared to have that rain overnight in Ireland, as it passed over on its way to the UK mainland (Wales, England and Scotland).
Overnight it was very stormy. Today, its sunny and breezy.
Whats it like in your region?
