Some stats, amid today's horrid weather: - So far, today has had the highest rainfall since August 12th (16.57mm), but if it continues to fall as it is doing at present, may well overtake May 28th (18.13mm) as the wettest day of 2008 - still pitiful by comparison to the 39mm rainfall on June 15th last year. - Temperatures are also low - yesterday's high fell short of 15 degrees, making it the coolest day since May 28th, while today looks set to be still cooler, with May 17th (12.9 degrees) the most recent cooler today. - Also notable is the fact that today's lowest atmospheric pressure is the 4th lowest of any day of 2008, with only winter storms on January 15th and March 10th (956.4hPa) as well as a recent low on August 12th (984.6hpa) falling lower on the scale.

Comparatively heavy snow here as well at present - easily the heaviest shower I've witnessed this year, and it's settling! Glad I'm awake for it, and long may it continue, and who knows, we may even be white over in the morning! Weird to appear so soon after the warmest day of the year - who said British weather was boring?!

It's raining! For the first time here since February 6th, which seems like a long time ago. 1mm in the last hour, so admittedly it's not all that heavy, but precipitation nontheless. Current temperature: 6.6, and dropping.

Consequently, during my absence, the following downtime (totalling around 105 hours) occured, which is likely to have influenced all statistics marked with an asterisk. No Maximum temperature was available for days 17, 20, 22, 24. No Minimum temperature was available for days 18, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29.

Sky turned black as night here in Kingston upon Thames around 20 minutes ago, heavy rain followed by a lashing of even heavier hailstones, coupled with strong winds, generally making for a very unpleasant half an hour. Brief thunder and lightning too, but now the sky is back to normal, and the storm has continued its progress east almost as quickly as it arrived, though light drizzle persists.

Couple of flashes of lightning, and persistent heavy rain for the last hour or so in Kingston... Which I really wasn't expecting. In a top-floor room and feeling a little exposed...
