Yes there was raging wetness from 3.30-- 4.30pm today.
I was in Longridge. Nearly got blown off my feet. Then about 20 mins later there was a close crack of thunder and then a phenomenal downpour. Walls of water. Streets turned to rivers for a while. Then some horizontal hail as the clearance came through.
Wild wind crashing around here tonight and howling in the chimney. Doesn't feel so warm as the 7.9C on the thermometer. Plenty of snow around still, but our igloo has melted on the SW side.
