[A.J]

lol....Yes Pat, the metoffice warnings for heavy rain just dont 'cut the mustard' compared with the NWS severe storm/tornado warnings!...

[loopydreamer]

ther is a bit of a break in the clouds above me. over to my west it is very dark

[twister2005]

Good morning all, not been on this site for a few years now. Here in Cheltenham we have has really heavy rain all morning, lighter now but i see the met office has upgraded the warnings for this area up to 100mm on high ground!!!! thats the same levels as July 2007, could this be as bad?

[loopydreamer]

very heavy here and dark! Its chucking it down with rain

and the bottom of our street is flooding

[MP-R]

Rain stopped here now and seems that the cell to the southwest towards Exeter is loosing its electrical activity.

[twister2005]

If we do get these large amounts of rain its going to be fun driving round here in Bishops cleeve quite a few of the roads are always flooding

[Hot mamma]

Grey skies here, raining all morning but nothing to write home about, is this storm heading our way?

[twister2005]

We did early this morning but light now, is there more to come ?

[Hot mamma]

I wouldn't say heavy, not's not bouncing off the floor, the sky is actually brighter now!

[twister2005]

Looks like Tewkesbury are getting heavy rain, which is just north of me

[loopydreamer]

[Hot mamma]

Which way is this storm coming from, as I just been stood in the window watching and the clouds are coming from a n/e direction?

persistant heavy rain here, with the odd torrential burst. massive puddles forming here too.

[Wilxy]

Even tho metoffice has us down for a warning of heavy thundery rain its not likely that storms will break out just gunna be a washout.

Hi twister,

I am also in Cleeve.Quite some heavy rain overnight as you know.Let's hope we don't have all that flooding back again.

[Evening thunder]

Morning people, Just light showers here earlier but the sky was rather dark towards the west earlier when I woke up associated with that thunderstorm with torrential rain just the other side of Exeter. Apparently there was a rumble of thunder heard here earlier from that but I was

Interestingly the surface winds are NW but just above the surface they seem to be S/SE which was creating some interesting scud movements including a rather rapid but brief horizontal swirling of a some cloud as it got caught up between the two wind directions.

Could be a lot of rain later here!

Hiya nice to speak to someone so close to home, do you think we are going to see more heavy rain, we are still under the warning, if we do bet the road by smiths floods again!

[Wilxy]

[loopydreamer]

I expect there is a lot more rain to come according to the Met Office. The rain at the moment has eased away from us on the radar,but plenty more this afternoon! I expect there will be flooding down by Smiths again.

[loopydreamer]

the rain got much lighter here for a few minutes but its getting darker again

[TonyH]

Worst of it moving through west Midlands into Wales now by the looks of it, so most of the Midlands should see a drier afternoon. Moderate rain here recently started, heavy stuff just to our east.

[loopydreamer]

absolutely bouting it down here but it beginning to look a bit brighter now
