It rained from around 11-30 until about 4pm,the rain was of moderate intensity,however for the last hour the heavens have opened here and the garden is flooding rapidly-a bit strange as the radar is only showing light rain at present.

After heavy rain from bedtime last night at 11pm through to about 5am this morning, it has been mostly dry and sunny today with cu-nimbs drifting by to the west and east all day and for the third time this month I've been in the forcefield zone. There has been some thunder and lightning to the west towards Wales recently though.

forecast from Sky/BBC here was occasional showers

on 3 ocasions we have sustained 1-2 hour spells of torrential rain during last 12 hours - showers ? umm

no update to main weather outlook since Sunday - any reason there is plenty happening around here.

where's the wellies and maybe sandbags ?
