we started get some proper drizzle today, it's barely stopped since before dawn. The grass in the neighbouring field was brown and parched on Monday, but is already perking up (though the sheep are making short work of it)
Anyone had any rain yet.?

Having a lovely down pour at the moment! It's been very light drizzle all day, but now finally a good bit of rain. I don't think its too heavy to be handled just yet, certainly bringing a lot of much welcomed cool air down with it as it falls!
I'm close to doing one of those dying of heat/thirst desert island naked dances in the rain, but I'm much too busy to be arrested!

The Radio announces heavy rain causing flooding on roads at Port Talbot, that's 70 miles away. Here small children are disappearing down cracks in the parched ground and queues of Ducks carrying suitcases are forming at the Railway Station as they leave, to move East, as no local rain is forecast 
Yup, enough rain that my chainsaw trousers got thoroughly soaked through this morning, good for the ground but not for my nethers....

We had a downpour for about an hour overnight but you can't really tell as it barely touched the surface. There's more rain predicted this afternoon
Rained hard all night and again now... I've just reconditioned part of the rainwater harvesting system so will be interested to see how much it gathers 
Cant those IBC's be double stacked if needed? https://itppackaging.com/using-ibcs-for-water-tanks-what-do-you-need-to-know
Only for storage and transport really, as far as I'm aware, as the filler neck is on the top.
Ah, it actually says that in your link above
(I thought I'd better read your link in case I was mistaken!).I'm not sure that frame looks capable of taking 1 ton load safely either.

I too was kinda surprised that they can stack laden- 1000kg isn't anything to be sneezed at.
The can indeed, but ideally you want a forklift or tractor with forks for that and some couplings to lock them together
I bottom fill most of ours through the outlet tap...it makes crossflow simplerOnly for storage and transport really, as far as I'm aware, as the filler neck is on the top.

I've lost track now, but it is weeks since it rained in my area.

| Temporary Use Ban (hosepipes) |
| We have been informed by Welsh Water that a Temporary Use Ban will come into force from 8am on Friday 19th August 2022 to protect Pembrokeshire's water supplies and environment. This means there will be restrictions on water use, specifically hoses, until further notice. Welsh Water have published the following advice regarding the use of hoses on privately owned vessels: |
I think its only Pembroke that have the water ban in force in Wales which is unusual considering the rain normally down there. Nothing said about the Bridgend area yet thankfully.
I predict there will be heavy rain around here early afternoon; I have to take the Westfield for an MOT, so it's bound to pour down
