[Lord of the clouds]

The day started cool, cloudy and wet.

Cleared a little by mid morning with brief sunny spells and odd bursts of rain.

By late afternoon thunder was heard, heralding a severe thunderstorm in the Wallington/Carshalton area, between Sutton and Croydon.

Torrential rain fell for 30-45 minutes causing widespread flooding in these areas with some roads impassible and many others like rivers. Frequent thunder and lightning rent the skies.

All cleared to leave cloudy skies by late evening.

[Stargazer]

Generally miserable here in the Thames Valley, with more or less continuous rain up to mid afternoon and plenty of showers from then on. Maximum 20.5, the first day under 21 degrees here since June 26 (I think that was also the last time it rained all day here), last night's minimum 11.3, the coolest night since June 22/23.

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Grey, damp and drizzly all day, sometimes heavy.

Currently quite foggy but drizzle has stopped.

[Hairy Celt]

a miserable weekend summed up by one word: dreich. only 5mm of rain recorded, but it's been pretty steady.
