St. Swithin's Day is 15 July, a day on which people watch the weather for tradition says that whatever the weather is like on St. Swithin's Day, it will continue so for the next forty days.
There is a weather-rhyme is well known throughout the British Isles since Elizabethan times.
'St. Swithin's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St. Swithin's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain nae mair.'
dost = does
thou = it
nae mair = no more.
Well for us here we have quite heavy rain

It didn't rain on Saint Swithin's day, but we sure have gotten rain either every evening or a shower during the day.....The weather for this week predicts rain for the next 7 days........
