It's been very dry in Finland for over a month and a half. We haven't had but pitiful drizzle on a couple of occasions before today. I'm loathe to think about the upcoming water bill caused by having to water the lawn and the flowerbeds last month and the past three weeks. May was about 4-5 C warmer than average according to the Finnish Meteorological Institute. Now the big spigot in the sky seems to have opened in earnest. It's been raining substantially for last couple of hours. Very good!
