It may have rained where you are, but it's not rained here much at all. We had some showery weather a bit - maybe a day once a week - but generally the weather has been bright and sunny and dry. The grass has stopped growing in the garden, or at least slowed down considering this is spring/early summer.
It was wall to wall sunshine yesterday until tea time and cloudy overnight and this morning, but it's bright and breezy out there now with no sign of rain.
it has been dry where I am too, recently. People have been watering their gardens, even. There have been a few showers and a couple or three properly wet days but has been about it in the last month or so.
Several times I have looked at the weather forecast and have felt a deal of pity for folk in the Northwest and Scotland; the weather looks to have been terrible there for about the last month, maybe more. Something to do with the Jetstream I expect...
One of the most prolonged coldest May I recall here in SWScotland. Nothing is growing in the garden. Not even the weeds and not through lack of moisture either.
Whatever I am, wherever I am, this is me. This is my life
recently it has been generally wet and often stupidly windy in manchester for (what seems like) an eternity. still using winter longs and jackets for the commute
I normally just clean my rims with hot soapy water and rinse off, but if any oily residue on them, e.g. chain lube, I sometimes clean with a spritz of meths and a dry cloth afterwards.
Today in Proper Cornwall we had a bit of rain this morning but nothing much, and generally it has been fairly dry, though last Sunday I experienced a fair bit of drizzle on a long ride up to Bodmin, Wadebridge, Padstow and back.

Friday - today - was damp and dreary this morning. We were out in the car from 10ish and I needed intermittent wipe on for a few minutes. From then on, it was bright and dry and I had to wear my sunglasses.
Sunny intervals now with fluffy white clouds 16degC. A bit breezy.
