Visitors and rain storm coming tonight

We have visitors from England in the area, and they are due to come round tonight.  Part of the official program will be a visit to the allotment.  There is some serious expertise within their party so I'm hoping everything will look okay.  We had well over 4 kg of currents from the three bushes i the raised bed at the weekend; these have already been jammed, and the first jars of jam shared out.  We also brought in the first crop of peas (1.5 kg from a 5m row of "onward").  The plants are still heavily laden with pods (but very short plants for some reason).  I expect another 5 kg by the end of June.

We have had a few days of hot (~27 deg) humid weather but not much rain.  The are heavy thundery showers forecast for tonight though, and I hope it holds until after the tour.
