the willingdon site also recorded very heavy total two weeks ago during the torrential storms that hit the sussex coast then and brings the monthly total at willingdon to an incredible 194mm with more to come this week, surely and unprecedented august total

interesting that the ratton weather site no more than a couple miles from willingdon recorded 27mm today emphasising the local nature of todays deluges

Well the reports from Purley and Caterham make sense. Reigate got absolutely hammered yesterday. Must have been close to 2 inches, but the key was how rapidly it fell. Widespread flooding in the town, with manholes being lifted etc. Some good photo's here:

Just before 8.30 we had an absolute cloudburst that turned my driveway into a lake within about 30 seconds. Fortunately by the time I had to leave on my bike 5 minutes later it had just about stopped, but there was still lots of water on the roads. Impressive intensity but very brief.

And if the radar is to be believed it was considerably heavier to the north and south of my location.



Looks like the Solent area is getting a pasting again now.

Squall storms hit here in Langley with intense heavy rain and few rumble of thunder and lightning.

Nice squall line approaching with a few ominous lumps to the south of it, to possibly run up the line, a few curls on those lumps as well.

Worst rainfall event to hit Alton since at least 2007. Torrential rain started at 1200 and has continued almost unrelentingly as the convection line has stalled. My garage is flooded but I can do nothing about it as it is still lashing down. Reports of water pouring up through manhole covers in the town. Some T&L but that isn't the issue

Right under the squall line at the moment insanely heavy rain. Some minor flooding already.

And the squall line is breaking up, so should be the usual bit of rain here.

Just returned from a trip to Milford-on-Sea  in Hampshire. Some impressive floods with a stalled car on a cliff road that probably took its foot off the gas, overflowing streams and some large breakers hammering the beaches.


Two parts of this heavy rain with the first earlier on and the second around midday. Quite autumnal really.

Been raining on and off for a couple of hours here, interspersed with very heavy bursts.  A couple of small storms too, although they were nothing to write home about!!  I feel sorry for holidaymakers up here this week, it has got to be the worst week of the summer!!!!  Here in Norfolk we have been VERY lucky with the weather compared with a lot of other places this year.  Makes up for not getting any snow this close to the coast!! (half a mile)

Sun has just broken through in central London with a nice rainbow low down to the east.

I think some of the models were wrong with the heaviest stuff further west than expected


The BBC graphics looked wrong this morning from what I remember

Indeed, the squall line broke up just as it moved onto Kent this afternoon, and then magically reformed again over the southern half of the North Sea and the lightning skirted around us. As a result of the Kent Rain Deflector having some effect, I only got 6.3 mm today . . . not that I desperately needed it anyway!
  The in-your-face strong south west wind is now abating and there is some brightness to my west as the ragged back end nears.

It's also been warm and very muggy today.


Going back to Aug 24, we had a few rumbles of thunder in the afternoon, which then became just heavy rain for over an hour. Strangely enough, there was only little to no convection below 2000 m; they seemed to be more of mid level type clouds, unlike those of today.
