Wimble is an English word for a type of summer rainstorm in which the rain holds off for just long enough to get changed and play the first couple of ends of a frame of tennis, whereupon the rain starts and continues for just long enough to make the tennis pitch lethally slippery. It is most common in late June and early July. The amount of rainfall is never sufficient to enable the removal of the hosepipe ban.
It has been immortalised in the phrase wimbled on, as in "I went to watch the tennis, but got wimbled on instead". This is often followed by the pained cry of those wimbled on which takes the form of the phrase, "Come on, Tim!" shouted as loudly as possible.
Wimble is very common in summer in certain parts of London. Wombles, small furry creatures with a rubbish habit, are reported by Mike Batt, a leading authority on complete bollocks, to be wimbled on commonly. (However, a popular musical reference indicates that this may be someone taking the piss - hence the Wombles of wimbled on common are wee. Other authorities suggest that this is a judgement on the music itself, suggesting that it is, to use a common Latin phrase, itis apis spotitis andatino ne.)
Longer rainstorms tend to be occasioned by the world-renowned English rain dance.
