Very useful, thanks. Plus of course we have the Netweather radar as well.

Does anybody know of the likely track of the main action? The local forecast I saw earlier today had the storms/rain edging slightly northwards during the evening, before moving southwards overnight - not sure if that is still expected.

Don't really know what is happening or is meant to be happening! It goes bright, then dark, then bright again, rain moderately then heavy then light and even can see blue skies now. At this rate not much will happen.

Flooding draining away now. I'm really hoping that the rain doesn't come back down south.

They said just now on the BBC weather that the line of showers across the Midlands is moving slowly south.

I can see it just to the north of us in Malvern, it's started to rain lightly. Looks really dark up there, not sure it's going to hit us directly though.

I reckon that that broad swathe of heavy rain, shown on all the television forecasts, will turn out to be a massive overestimation of reality...A bit like blizzards in January?

not that high, not as high as it was after last friday, but may rise tonight, only time Ive known it flood town was on 6th-7th Nov 2000,

Ah okay. I last seen it on Wednesday morning, that was pretty high! A lot of rain has been falling in the area today, with more prolonged precip overnight. I was hoping it would rise a little more, but it looks like there are finally some positives heading our way from the latest outputs.

Heavy rain in Malvern at the moment.

Edit at 4.10 a.m. - has been torrential for around an hour, gone back to heavy again. Really been pelting down solidly with no letup.

In addition to the evening cloudburst, we had continuous rain overnight - total for the 12 hours to 6am is a staggering 66mm, most of which fell in about 1hour.

Yes, and it's the third week we've had torrential rain on a Thrusday/Friday. Village is still flooded. From the radar, it looks like we went through the white blob, which is >50mm/hour. definitely the worst rain I have ever experienced.

Greetings from UK's wettest place yesterday. What clinched it was the narrow band in the evening after the main large area affecting rain -had a couple of downpours around 7pm & 9pm. What caused that?

So the BBC is predicting temperatures in the high 20's next week.

Whereas Met office just talk about 'normal' temperatures.

As Harry Hill would say ' which is right' ?
