Ok time for sleep. However window open just incase. Im not gonna say light rain has just started here

[andy_leics22]

What is your location cold fingers ?

It says her location on the left hand side, Bognor.

[john w]

Ah that will explain it then...so Im guessing the 2 min 30 one will play on the hour from 00:57 ish...and be similar to the 00:27 one. Then the countdown will commence and story of the hour with a similar irony (albeit on a massive scale - Pakistan floods).

[sabrewulf]

its started here in basingstoke. very heavy rain.

[Tom Montalbano]

Heavy rain began around 25 mins ago, here in S.E.London, some colourful radar returns too. Nice to hear it hammering down outside, such a relief after recent days of high humidity.

Regards,

Tom

This is shaping up to be pretty average frontal rain for most.

As I expected

[TheToastPeople]

so can i go to bed now?

[Tim]

Little bit dissapointed for the Bristol region, doubt we're going to even get 20 mm maybe only 15 mm in some areas. Very average really compared to what was expected.

[ZONE 51]

2hrs of very heavy(no break or less intense) just prolonged rains,

i think some sparks are going to show soon, its getting torrential now, it feels like a pressure pot with a tight lid, and its just waiting to blow out!

Its raining quite heavy here at the moment did u catch that storm yesterday?

[dallas]

Starting to get going now, heavy rain

[andy_leics22]

Ok, it's lashing down now, this might be the heavy rain everyone was talking about

[Optimus Prime]

Very heavy rain right now.

[SteveElbows]

Looking increasingly likely that people at v festival are going to get very wet.

Rain remains nice and heavy here, sounds great.

[cj114]

Steady rain for the past few hours, now hammering down and has been for the past 20 mins.

Like Tom said I am also glad of it as it's been so humid today and yesturday. I came back from Lincolnshire yesturday and watched the temp rising as I neared London.

Am in Conservatory as Grandson is here and I can't smoke in the House! LOL

So it sounds even louder!

Edit, easing off a little now.

Just had torrential rain in west Kent road flooded

[cj114]

Here it goes again! So glad I live on top of a high hill! Bet the High Road is flooded, it always is as the drains just can't cope.

[Mammatus]

Heavy prolonged rain here on the Suffolk Cambridgeshire border. Lets hope this keeps up all night, I didn't buy that blow-up boat for no reason!

[Katherine]

Steady rain here in S. Lincs.

[cj114]

Still hammering down here, the sky is a very deep Pink.

I don't think I need worry about the plants tomorrow. lol

Night all, don't expect any Thunder tonight, this is just plain rain albeit heavy.

[andy_leics22]

Why can't we get massive heavy bands of precip like this in Winter when it's cold enough for snow?! Bloody typical!

[kold weather]

Its been pouring here for a while now though a heavier burst has just moved through, looks like more of a October type system then a August system with the low pressure coming in but tere ya go!

Tommorow looks interesting though with the instablity leftover behind the front.

[sunny scunny]

The first few spots of rain have finally arrived here.Im not expecting much though.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Heavier rain again but seems like too little too late for any large totals.

What is the GFS on? I doubt it will be raining much past 4am yet it shows 15mm for 7am here!
