Highest rain rate I've ever recorded at 149.6 mm/hr.

Impressive - extensive thundery activity in France. Areas of rain in Southern England. Even a heavy burst here a while back 

stormchaser i did not comment on your video of the hailstorm earlier this month as i was in lock up. i am nt sure how many years ago, i think about 10-15 we had a terrific hailstorm in sandleheath in april. very localised . fordingbridge had less that time and there was virtually none at martin to the west. i wish i had took pictures as it was inches deep on the ground.

BBC weather, heavy, thundery rain moving north tomorrow night for England and Wales and more moving north on Thursday looking torrential actually!
