Rain, what rain?

 They forecast "scattered showers" for us every day last week.
There were none.
It rained here last evening; a few drops on my window but not enough
to show on the paving.
I just want t good deluge - at night please!

Sorry, there's just too much in this post to digest. I can work out
"showers", even "scattered" at a push but I'm not sure what a "deluge"
is. Then you say "rained". I think the correct spelling is "reigned"
but is it proper to refer to Her Maj as an "it"? Anyway, the Court
Circular makes no mention of her being in Bristol recently.

I am wondering if you are referring to "precipitation" but I don't
even remember what that is properly. It's just a big word I read
somewhere. I recall it was preceded by "lack of".

As to "drops on your window" do you mean something like the little
bits of water that hit the window when I'm using the sprinkler on a
patch of newly seeded lawn?

I notice Jake that you don't tell Pam of the rain we have had here in
South Wales over the last week or so, in all just over an inch, though
we missed a cloudburst last Thursday by about half a mile. I had just
left home for a meeting at the Welsh National Botanic Gardens
http://www.gardenofwales.org.uk/  when I was hit by torential rain
viusibility was down to about 200 yds, 2 miles on it had become light
rain , and a mile further on the motorway was dry.
