A wet start to August here after the late-July dryness. Total at 8.1mm

1.8mm today..

Now on 9.6mm as a total for the last TWO days.

5.1mm added today; total now at 13.2mm.

cloudburst yesterday gave 19mm in the Alderholt area according to my neighbour who keeps records . I think he is reliable.

Exactly the same as Art, 9.6mm, not sure whether thats correct or not, we haven't had that much rain just short showers here, the only thing I think it is might be the size of the rain drops, like today for instance we had a few shot lived showers but the rain drops were huge, I was out in the garden earlier and was pelted by what felt like egg cup sized drops, a few of them in your weather station cup wouldl total up a few mm pretty quick.

As like the last few months, below average again so far. Only 2.2mm recorded here. The Peninne rain shadow in effect again.

0.6mm today so far.  now a total of  10.5mm.

Lousy start to August with 14.6mm in the first 3 days - over a quarter of the monthly average already.

I've just checked my records and it is almost a year since there was last a full week without rain (9 days from 28th August to 5th Sept 2013). Truly without precedent the lack of settled weather this year.

Still on 13.2mm here. Just a trace from a few very large droplets, earlier, from an increase in convective activity marking the upcoming change to wetter conditions. 

0.9mm Today so far. Now on  11.1 mm total for the month....

3.3mm. Today.  Total for the month 18.0mm.

Total now at 20.8mm after the overnight rain and today's showers.

Nothing to add to today.. My be late Saturday. Definitely Sunday..... 

1.2mm added on the 7th from a very brief but sharp shower in the early hours and another around midday. Total now at 22mm.

Today's expected convective activity here could significantly add to my total .. or add nothing at all! Such is the nature of the convective beast   

Just having a light shower now...Not enough to measure yet.

Only 0.3mm to add... ust helps the total a little bit...

Now up to 25.2mm for the month

Just 1.2mm from today's convective activity! Roads in the area were varying between bone-dry and flooded, at any one time, in a short distance! Total now at 23.2mm 

Yesterday evenings and overnight rain gave 16.4mm, total to date 27.8mm

34.7mm after yesterdays storms which deposited 29.5mm.

Parts of Cambridgeshire received 50mm in just an hour yesterday. There's sure to be some impressive monthly totals in places.

There was persistent heavy-torrential rain for over an hour last night here too. I just wish I have a rain gauge!

Some of yesterdays high rainfall totals around East Leeds

Allerton Bywater 88.9mm
Garforth 84.6mm
Bramham 65mm
Castleford 59.9mm

A staggering amount of rain in a short time.
