This is the heaviest rain I have ever seen. Topped 100mm/hr with 8mm in 15 mins. Decent sized hail, several flashes of lightning and "sheet rain". Temperature has plummeted too.

[Louby]

12mm of rain between midnight and 8am,

Current conditions sunny and calm, 12c

[Nick L]

Seems to have calmed down now. We have now had 2 inches of rain in 2 days. I don't think I had that in the whole of May!

[sunny scunny]

It looks like the rain to my south will struggle to make it here, meaning the forecast

for rain is completely wrong again currently rather cloudy and breezy at 13c

[Higher Ground]

The winter-like weekend continues. Temp been below 10C since Friday evening. Currently coldest yet at 6.2C with moderate rain.

[Bottesford]

Very dull, very wet and very chilly sums up this Sunday morning. Living room has dipped in temperature down to 17c which it hasn't done in ages now - looks like we'll need the gas fire on again!

Still, it's 'interesting' weatherwise after the last few weeks of dryness so long as we get other 'interesting' weather pretty soon i.e. 30c+, hot/humid thunderstorms, etc. Cold in summer gets boring quickly as we've got countless other months of the year for that!

Now 13.3c after a low of 12.2c. Steady rain and judging by radar - it's gonna keep going all day.

Calm with sunny spells and TCu developing after very heavy rain/thunder overnight which gave 20mm of rain - the most here in one go since 10 February! The temperature had been rising slowly at 12.0c but has dropped back to 11.8c at present with humidity 76% & a gentle wind.

[Terminal Moraine]

Overcast with a few spots of rain from time to time and thunder audible to the south and south east. Temp' is 9.1c with a 19 mph NE wind. Yesterday's max' of 10.4c was the coldest June day ( 0900-0900 ) since 1999.

24 hour rainfall to 0900 today, 10.6mm, all of which fell between 0900 and 1330 yesterday.

12mm of rain havn`t looked since first thing as it`s been heavy rain at times so far today and quite dark,wind is NE today and temps just 9.2c now after a min of 7.8c

[The PIT]

Cold getting windier but dry at the moment rain not far away though.

[J10]

Stopped raining here at last, but looking t the accumulated radar, certainly over an inch in the past 24 hours.

[Essan]

[Snowyowl9]

Very heavy rain and very gusty east/NE winds just passed and temps are 8.8c

[Bottesford]

Slinging it down here at the moment with 4mm in last half hour. Temp dropping too - now 13c and very very dull indeed. Not sure how it could be any worse in June really.

[SP1986]

Bright but mostly cloudy, feeling fairly humid'ish' and currently 15.4C

[Eugene]

Not sure how it could be any worse in June really.

It can't be worse in summer to be honest, the coldest summer weekend in over 10 years in parts of the west, the rain is still really heavy here and unbelievably the temperature is only 8C and the temp is slowly dropping too, i`m extremely surprised at the lack of comments on weather forums or lack of special threads opened for this so i did it myself.

[valiant]

Looks like I'm in the middle of a 4-hr band of very heavy rain. Hope it doesn't stall and start heading back south ..
