    Roads have flooded across Swindon after heavy overnight rainfall as a result of Storm Babet.

     

    50mm rain in 24h, and no weather warning? The ground is fully saturated in this area, and we've had another 35mm in a short few hours, flooding the railways for the second time in a week. 

    63mm  for the week so far and 31mm of that overnight  according to my station. The models didn't predict the position of  overnight rain well, quite a bit further south than predicted. Probably why no warnings...or no more space on the map!

    GaugeMap is an award winning interactive map with the latest river level, flow and groundwater data from Environment Agency stations in Britain & Ireland.

    These two websites publish rainfall data from the environment agency sites, and appear to be mostly accurate and reliable. It can be interesting in situations like this with localised heavier downpours.

     

    Incredible night  for storm starved North Wilts!   I am just five miles west of Swindon and recorded 55mm last night... and all within 3 hours!

    Morning all. Thought I would join in what should be a record breaker...for my own station at least!

    Previous max was 34.3 in August 2020. Already above 30C!

    New record here 34.6C....still rising slowly, how high will it get  i wonder?... Comfortable 27C indoors with blinds drawn on south facing windowsimage.thumb.png.317885a363c847f866912080c640a228.png

    A poor end to the heatwave here with a forgettable day of constant murk interspersed with heavy showers. One with a couple of rumbles, but that was it storm wise

    34.3C a couple a days ago...what a difference!

    Incredibly low temperature range as a result....at least a decent amount of rain for the garden.

    Weekend doesn't seem to offer much hope for improvement either.... whatever your preference!

    South feels different today from what i can see, no dense low cloud this morning which allowed temp to rise quickly, air has that before storm feeling to it!

    Yep, much warmer morning here too without yesterdays cloudy one. Station at 29.6 C currently with dewpoint of 20.9C . Yesterday at 12.30 it was 24.4C DP 19.6C. Hottest/stickiest its felt since this spell started. Cloudless skies apart from the odd bit of cirrus, should get at least 33C I  reckon. Will it trigger anything though??

    Closing in on 50mm for the day, total now at 48.4mm and rising. Can't remember a day quite this wet for a while! And it looks like the pivot continues with more rain heading in from the west now.

    Far enough east for the rain band  to clear slowly this evening before possibly circulating back here overnight briefly. Pretty much continous rain all day. Measured 31.6 mm here today, wettest day this year according to my station.

    With Tuesday and Wednesday storms, totalled 57mm for past three days. Garden is appreciating it though!
