"All he sees is endless rain, endless rain"

It is august.
Therefore it is the height of the summer.
However in my crappy little bit of the glorious United Kingdom it is raining.
It seems to have been raining for weeks.
It's not just a drizzle or the odd shower, no it is absolutely pissing it down.
Not being a man of any discernable faith I am concerned that there is something I should know because I swear I just saw an ark go past my window.
