As can be seen by the time, I have been woken up by the roar of a cloudburst with everything awash. As I said in the whining thread yesterday it seems we have a more tropical climate than west european maritime at the moment. It also seems to me that these short excessive rainfall episodes are occuring more frquently in our summers than they used to. As I type there are now flashes of lightning along with thunder, it really is a stormy night here!!!!!

[PB22]

After what has been a super summer week here with very warm sunshine everyday, its a cloudy and damp start this morning after last nights thunderstorms, which brought our first rainfall for almost a week.

[Typhoon John]

Very heavy rain during the night and again this morning. Very dark outside.

I drove through 4 floods on the way to work and it's still chucking it down. I didn't think it would be so bad, the rain we've had this week must have really saturated the ground as it's pouring off the fields.

54mm past 24 hours after a very wet night!

Wettest day since moving to this location 4 years ago and one of the wettest I have recorded in this area.

Over 140mm first 16 days of July, so could be a challenge to my wettest months here (250mm).

Currently: Cool, dull, wet and windy, another heavy burst of rain.

It looks like things could get hairy up in the north east of England today - heavy rain forecast for at least the next 10 hours.

Currently overcast and damp here in stoke, but feeling surprisingly humid.

[Northernlights]

Currently 13c and with moderate to heavy rain and a fresh wind from the NE off the Firth.The local radio station says the A96 is closed due to flooding east of Inverness. After last nights downpours its easy to understand how this has happened.

[Bottesford]

10mm overnight but has cleared to muggy sunshine just before I set off for work (will wonders never cease!).

Despite the rain it's def not cold with a min of 16.7c and now 17.5c - very humid too.
