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

Could get a pasting again later, though doesnt look anything like Monday. Good news is that Thursday now looking dry

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.

curl of intense storms just went through dorset.

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

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

PWS at Ascot Close IALTON5 recorded 41.91mm

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)

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

areas west of London took a pasting. We had our turn on Monday

Feels very muggy and warm here

It's been similar here today. We did have some driving rain with an odd brief heavy burst around noon, then it was mostly dry this afternoon. Heavy squally rain and thunder was to the NW of us, which never arrived here, then as that died away to the NE, more squally heavy thunderstorms developed to the SE of us. The in-your-face strong SW wind is now beginning to abate, but it's remaining cloudy here.

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.
