It's gone quiet now and just medium/heavy rain outside.

[Ian Ballinger]

Heaviest rain of the day here now

[Costa Del Fal]

Pretty heavy rain here!

[Ian Ballinger]

I can hear what sounds like fireworks boom boom boom...seriously in this rain!! people are mad

[nitro_deluxe]

What are the chances a narrowish area on the back edge of this main belt, turns slightly sparky?

Checking local roads and garden, flooding is order of the day at the mo..still hammering down.

[Polar Maritime]

All I can say is, is im glad i bought the washing in.............

 

17.1mm so far and it's still lashing it down, Have all windows open, it's like a dream come true !

If only we had a screaming northeasterly now..in Jan snowmageddon alert.Yes, fair to say it is heavy useful rain, second time this week although I feel this is more likely to overshadow the last by some degree.

If only !, Im starting to get that Winter feeling now.. 

 

Extreme rain here continues, so refreshing..

[RobR]

Heavy rain here in Stoke and no sign of anything stormy. Minor flooding will be the issue if this carries on...but i did expect more imbedded storms in the system. any chance of activity picking up or is it staying out east?

[azores92]

moderate rain here and 13mm so far, the met office have us down for heavy rain all through the night, can't see it to be honest? chance of some storms tomorrow mind

I took that from my room in Atherstone (CV9) - facing North East.

[Dancerwithwings]

Its been raining heavy now for a number of hours and at the moment its torrential and looking now on the radar here most of its gone through and on its way north,

Been a bit disappointed with ye old thunder and lighting, heard a little thunder from time to time but that's about it, can't moan to much, Some had none.

[nitro_deluxe]

Heavier pulse now Solihull way, clearance I'd say by 2ish down there? Once that area over Bristol way finally clears through!

Hang on just heard a gaggle of ducks go by..

Still horrendous out there, sheer amount of rain now quite mad....if not slightly unnerving!

[Staffordshire]

Havent posted this evening as i have been out, heard a few rumbles and saw some sheet lightening (i think around 8pmish as i didnt have watch on me) now there is still heavy rain, and i have walked a good 2 miles in it since around 10:30, maybe because im mad but i love to get out and enjoy the weather, also there is alot of standing water around these parts! anyone inform me if there were any storms in the south earlier?

Had what you are having just under an hour ago 'torrential', Unnerving! nah LOVELY to watch

[RobR]

Bucketing down here still. The intensity is the talking point but no problems yet...though we are now under an Amber watch.

[nitro_deluxe]

Bit quiet in two-word story hehe..

Manic still, easily knocking on 50mm for some by dawn..poor lass!

Back edge kinda north Dorset way..edit? Edited July 27, 2013 by triple_x1

[Dancerwithwings]

Just had another heavy burst, quite intense and it keeps on coming up from the Bristol way, At this rate its going to be all night for some.

Yes, I thought we'd be in the clear by now, but judging by the radar everything to our south and west is still heading broadly our way - rain for at least another couple of hours I reckon.

 

20.75mm in the past five or six hours with plenty more to come.

Quite a defined edge or clearance N of Bristol now, easily another couple of hours, albeit steadily rain will diminish...oh look some showers now Dorset way?

I know I'm probably sounding like a broken record hehe..still a stupid amount of rainfall is a falling right here right now. Totals yet to be confirmed.

Ps, need a couple more takers..true false game, lounge? Ta.

Best rainfall for a long time here, down the bottom of the hill here lays an island with a few shops/takeaways, the carpark was under a good cm of water when i passed through at around 11:20, id hate to imagine the state now with this jeavy rain continuing to fall, the drains down towards the shops were all overflowing and water was passing down the hill like it was a stream
