My brother Doug, my flickr contact Grant and I visited northeast Ohio on a five-day trip in mid-June, 2015. We stayed two nights in Canal Fulton at the Fulton House on Pleasant Hill B & B. Like so much of this trip, we arrived in a rainfall, which gave a misty feel to the inn's garden. Fulton House on Pleasant Hill

We had heavy rainfall here for several weeks meanwhile. Great floods, there was water in many people's homes.
Especially the city of Passau was heavily hit:

Now the rain seems to stop, sun takes over. But there is a lot of cleanup to do.

After record-setting rainfalls last week, we decided to visit the Short Hills Provincial Park just west of St Catharines, Ontario, to see if the creek feeding the Terrace Creek Falls was carrying enough water to actually get a significant flow of water over the falls. We have visited the falls periodically over the past couple of decades in hopes of seeing more than a trickle of water descending the Niagara Escarpment in the creek’s path Northward to Lake Ontario, and consistently been disappointed. Not this time. This was our reward for persistence. Enjoy. - JW

Batumi (Georgian: ბათუმი) is a seaside city on the Black Sea coast and capital of Adjara, an autonomous republic in southwest Georgia. Batumi, with its large port and commercial center, is also the last stop of the Transcaucasian Railway and the Baku oil pipeline. It is situated some 20 km (12 mi) from the Turkish border, in a subtropical zone, rich in agricultural produce such as citrus fruit and tea. The city's climate is heavily influenced by the onshore flow from the Black Sea and is subject to the orographic effect of the nearby hills and mountains, resulting in significant rainfall throughout most of the year, making Batumi the wettest city in both Georgia and the entire Caucasus Region.

I like to show you something very special:
In Germany we have some hard rain showers this summer. You may have a deeper look to some drops here.... ;-))

A cosy evening off Keppel Bay in Singapore. On the opposite side is Sentosa (left) and Labrador Park (right).
Record rainfall has caused swollen rivers to burst their banks and wash away homes and other buildings in western Europe – leading to more than 90 casualties and over 1000 people missing. Data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission are being used to map flooded areas to help relief efforts.
The German states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia were among the worst hit by the torrential rainfall, with water levels rising in the Rhine River, as well as the Walloon Region in Belgium. The storms and high waters have also battered neighbouring Switzerland, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
This radar image uses information from two separate acquisitions captured by the Sentinel-1 mission on 3 July and 15 July 2021, and it shows the extent of the flooding in red. Radar images acquired before and after flooding disasters offer immediate information on the extent of inundation and have proved useful in monitoring floods, thanks to Sentinel-1’s ability to ‘see’ through clouds and rain.
The mission has been supplying imagery through the Copernicus Emergency Mapping Service to aid relief efforts. The devastating floods has triggered four activations in the Copernicus Emergency Mapping Service, in Western Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
The service uses observations from multiple satellites to provide on-demand mapping to help civil protection authorities and the international humanitarian community in the face of major emergencies.

Stockholm Waterfront during a dramatic sunset, and during heavy rainfall no less. You can see the drops hitting the river. Compare it to this shot from 2013, taken during a milder sunset.
As I hobble about trying to find photographic subject matter distance from my home base, I spent a bit of time looking at the flowers in my garden. After a brief rainfall, some of the classic July orange lilies provided an opportunity although not without some significant shifting around trying to fine an angle that isolated the three I wanted. A sure sign of it being mid-July here in Grimsby. - JW

Rain or shine, this adult LB Heron must provide for its young to increase the odds for its survival!
We got heavy rainfall this evening in Stockholm, but it came equipped with a pretty sunset and a huge rainbow towering over the city. Glad I happened to be there, and have my camera and tripod with me. (I usually do.)
It's kind of funny how the rainbow seems to end by the Swedish Parliament. Suddenly the cult around Kim Jong-il sounds an itsy-bitsy less far-fetched!
Lonquimay es un pueblo y comuna de Chile, en la Provincia de Malleco, Región de la Araucanía. Se ubica 167 kms al noreste de la ciudad de Temuco y a 493 kms al norte de Puerto Varas. Es la comuna mas grande de la Región de la Araucania (IX región) con una extensión de 3.914 kms cuadrados. Mas del 40% de la población de la zona es indígena de origen Pehuenche, que viven fundamentalmente de la ganadería, explotación de la madera y del turismo.
Esta es una zona cordillerana y fronteriza, su geografía corresponde a la de un extenso valle en las alturas de la cordillera de los Andes con presencia de grandes volcanes como el Lonquimay (2.865 msn), y lagunas como Galletué e Icalma en las que nace el río Biobío. Al oriente limita con las elevaciones de la Cordillera de los Andes, límite internacional con la Argentina. Al topar los vientos húmedos provenientes del Pacífico con los cordones occidentales (oeste) dejan abundantes precipitaciones, lo que da origen a extensos bosques con gran presencia de Araucarias y especies propias del bosque caducifolio como Ñirres y Lengas, los que desaparecen hacia el este dejando extensas pampas de vegetación baja. Las características particulares del clima en esta zona, hace posible encontrar aquí ciertas especies o subespecies de animales y plantas de la Patagonia, algunas de ellas sólo presentes aquí en territorio chileno, mientras que otras vuelven a reaparecer en las pampas orientales de las regiones de Aysén y Magallanes. El clima se caracteriza porque en algunos inviernos la nieve puede alcanzar hasta 3 metros, y en verano las temperaturas son más favorables, presentándose una media estival de aproximadamente 15 °C. Como localidad fronteriza cuenta con dos importantes pasos internacionales: Pino Hachado e Icalma, siendo el primero de ellos parte del futuro Corredor Bioceánico Trasandino.
La zona atrae a gran cantidad de turistas durante todo el año, por sus bellos paisajes, volcanes, lagos y lagunas. Además de las bellezas de la Cuesta Las Raices y del ex tunel ferroviario, alguna vez el mas extenso del mundo con mas 4 kms de largo, por donde hoy pasa la carretera internacional. En mi opinión personal, quizás las dos estaciones mas bellas para visitar esta zona sean el otoño cuyos colores son realmente fascinantes y en invierno con paisajes nevados únicos. La apertura de un exclusivo resort de montaña en la laderas del volcán Lonquimay Corralco, a comenzado a atraer también a los amantes del ski buscando nuevos y excitantes lugares para la practica del deporte.

Lonquimay is a town and commune of Chile, in the Province of Malleco, Araucanía Region. It is located 167 kms northeast of the city of Temuco and 493 kms north of Puerto Varas. It is the largest commune in the Region of Araucania (IX region) with an extension of 3,914 square kilometers. More than 40% of the population of the area is indigenous Pehuenche, who live mainly from livestock, timber and tourism.
This is a cordilleran and border zone, its geography corresponds to that of an extensive valley in the heights of the Andes mountain range with the presence of large volcanoes such as the Lonquimay (2,865 masl), and lagoons such as Galletué and Icalma where the Biobío river born. To the east it limits with the elevations of the Mountain range of the Andes, international limit with Argentina. When encountering the humid winds coming from the Pacific with the western cords leave abundant rainfall, which gives rise to extensive forests with a large presence of Araucarias and species typical of the deciduous forest such as Ñirres and Lengas, which disappear to the east leaving extensive pampas of low vegetation. The particular characteristics of the climate in this area, make it possible to find here certain species or subspecies of animals and plants of Patagonia, some of them only present here in Chilean territory, while others reappear in the eastern pampas of the regions of Aysén and Magellan. The climate is characterized because in some winters the snow can reach up to 3 meters, and in summer the temperatures are more favorable, presenting a summer average of approximately 15 ° C. As a border town, it has two important international steps: Pino Hachado and Icalma, the first of which is part of the future Trans-Andean Bioceanic Corridor.
The area attracts large numbers of tourists throughout the year, for its beautiful landscapes, volcanoes, lakes and lagoons. In addition to the beauties of the Cuesta Las Raices and the former railway tunnel, once the most extensive in the world with more than 4 km long, where today passes the international highway. In my personal opinion, perhaps the two most beautiful seasons to visit this area are the autumn whose colors are really fascinating and in winter with unique snowy landscapes. The opening of an exclusive mountain resort Corralco,on the slopes of the Lonquimay volcano, has also begun to attract ski lovers looking for new and exciting places to practice sport.
One of my favorite lightning strikes from Ord, Nebraska on June 1st, 2018. This was the "Tail End Charlie" storm that stayed discrete for a while after everything else had gone linear. The bolts it produced were incredible...ly close. If you want to see a time lapse and more of my top images, follow the link below.

After the long hot summer of 2018, the weather has taken its toll on the water levels at Ladybower, Derwent and Howden. This photo was taken late September and the levels dropped some more since then, revealing the remains of Ashopton and Derwent villages. I've not had chance to go and see the remains of the villages yet, but I hope to visit at some point.
The lines of pillars on the left of the photo are remains of an old railway used for transporting stone up the valley for construction of the dam walls.
Let's end 2020 with a bang. No really, the thunder was really loud after this quad strike back in July. My annual trip to the US was killed by COVID this year, but the Niagara region gave me at least one picture as a replacement.
Rainfall in Modesto during the winter of 1966-67 was above average at 14.68 inches, compared to an overall average of 12.79. Not a huge amount of total rainfall for the year, but that doesn't mean it didn't come down in intense episodes. January, at least, was a pretty wet month as indicated by this image. Modesto, and the entire San Joaquin Valley are pretty flat, so when rains are abundant, the water takes a while to infiltrate into the soil. Standing on the ties that attach the switch stand to the rails, the groundsman keeps his feet dry as a dutch drop is made in the flooded North Yard on the Tidewater Southern. The stadium lights in the background are at Modesto Junior College. The image reflected tends to make an arse-kicker out of the boxcar.
This 8 second exposure captured at least 3 bolts on August 11th, 2017 over the city of Hamilton. This storm was the remnants of a tornado producing storm that hit the small town of Hawkesville, Ontario. It put on one of the better lightning displays in Ontario in quite some time.

In what you might describe as inclement weather, ex-South African Railways Beyer-Garratts 87 and 138 trundle through Rhyd Ddu station, Welsh Highland Railway, heading a charter freight on 3rd November 2013. I should add that this was not an organised 'run-past' or set-up in any way at this time, but merely the train naturally drawing into the station loop in a torrential downpour after undertaking run-pasts on the 'horse-shoe' curve.

We moved from an area that averaged 5-6 inches of rain in a good year to a location that averages 51 inches of rain a year. Pretty nice actually having visible water instead of a dry river bed!

Lake Superior - North Shore
Hiking between storms . . . while heading back along the Cascade, hearing the rush of water was magical to say the least. The flow rate was high, due to much needed rainfall in the region.
I hear the North Shore in the back of my mind all year! It never leaves, it whispers my name in the wind!
