Had quite a lot of thundery activity her around 4 am and then from 7 till about 10 with some hefty showers.


An interesting drive to work going from dry to having windscreen wipers on full and still having to peer through rain with lightning and thunder claps.

Struggling to get even 1 mm rain here. Just heavy cloud and odd spot of light rain; is now actually brightening up. Although there's thundery rain much further to the W, I would not be surprised if the rain areas either split-up and miss us or never actually arrives here later today.


There has been no thunder activity here since 20th July. This is VERY unusual, particularly for August!

Only just managed to check the rainfall total I recorded on Friday. My broadband went down during the storm while I was away and the rain gauge got blocked with some muck so had to clear it when I got home yesterday to release the water that had collected.


Total rainfall on Friday was 38.4mm. Certainly needed it as it has been very dry here since early July.

Also given the amount of electronics packed into the average car these days, this one probably is good as dead anyway (a bit like dunking a PC tower in a bath).

Yes and depend how much the flood levels is, from the picture is just flooding the inside floor areas so that need to clean and dry out before re-using.  Unless the picture taken after the flood levels was higher earlier on that flooded the whole car up.

Apparently when there are signs of a car stuck in water, the windows open automatically to ensure you can escape in an emergency.
