A few bright spells this morning early on before the heavy rain arrived. There were two distinct spells of almost torrential rain just after midday and 2pm, the second of which provided quite a bit of thundery activity.  Its currently dry with bright spells, but showers are approaching from the west which may help to give us the wettest day since 25th June 2007 (10.5mm more required).
