The deep convection doing its usual summer dance 15 miles inland from here (typical of a summer SW'ly) is now edging towards me as the upper flow veers more WNW'ly. Hopeful for a few crashes and bangs later .

Just had a slow moving thundery-type shower pass over us here at Folkestone. Can hear the lawn sigh in relief as I type.

My lawn here in the arid South Cambs micro climate was starting to look distictly straw coloured in parts, so some welcome relief for it today courtesy of some unusually (for here) prolonged showers. 

June going out in style.

Torrential rain. max. rr/hr 77.8mm, running total 6.6m

edit: maxrr/ hr 93.0mm runnning total 10.6mm

edit: 15.0mm

edit: sky signal gone, still torrential rain, Vantage vue gave up the ghost at 6.8mm VP2 at 21.0mm rr/hr 116.4mm

For once my location is coping the heaviest shower in the whole country at the moment

An inch of rain in 42 minutes, not bad for isolated light showers.

Rain has eased but still light/moderate 30.0mm
