Not sure why they are for here though..

[MP-R]

I have a horrible feeling I will get nada... again!

[Somerset Squall]

Had a fairly decent storm here. Torrential rain and quite frequent lighnting and thunder. Better than the storm last week!

[A.J]

as posted in the convective thread, just spotted some lightning down to my south, distant though, probably Salisbury area

[Mapantz]

Parts of Dorchester have been hit bad, lots of calls to the fire brigade apparently.

The warning actually came out shortly after we had a heavy thunderstorm here and it has been raining on and off since. Looking at the radar there was another storm just to the west of Dorchester at about the same time.

[Lyn-M]

Not aware of any thunder here, but there has been a lot of rain.  I shall find out in the morning just how much!

[Evening thunder]

One smaller river near Exeter has had an interesting response to the storm earlier:

[MP-R]

While all of that is going on, it's completely clear sky here, an oddly, it feels very mild at 13.0C. Not a common combination to have clear sky, no wind and mild between September and April at night.

[Evening thunder]

Forgot to add: there was some quite bad flooding in Exeter http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/Breaking-Storm-leads-flash-flooding-Exeter/story-23212477-detail/story.html

[Summer of 95]

Distant flash then? Crap just turned off the tv...

Throwing it down here again, yet not heard or seen anything. The radar showed what looked like cells over us this afternoon, but still there eas nothing but rain.

[Gibby]

Bright and very mild start to the day with some cloud developing.13.4C

[Midlands Ice Age]

Missed all the rain around here yesterday.. Turned out a lovely warm day with nice sunny spells. (Temp reached 18C). The heavy rain parted through the central midlands and went up to the west or east of us.

 

This morning the same with a temp already at 11.6C

[TonyH]

31.9mm yesterday, a new wettest day of this month just pipping the 8th (31.6mm).

Total so far this month already up to average at 142.8mm

[ARTDEMOLE]

Broken cloud. Sunny. 16.2c.

[Lyn-M]

Total rainfall  from yesterday's showers...20.1mm.  So far today, mostly bright and warm with a few spits and spots.

[Mapantz]

17.2°C and sunny spells. A few light showers around..

A wet month but October 2012 will take some beating at 195mm

[Eugene]

Phew it's Hot, soon our climate will be like this all year round.

[Mapantz]

The front coming in this evening could have some very heavy rain embedded within it. The NMM certainly thinks so..

[Bobby]

The winter rampathon is sure gathering momentum now - a record breaking OPI, Ely QBO, warm stratosphere etc. Reading some of the posts you'd think a repeat of 1947 is odds on. Although the major global met organisations such as Met Office, JMA are predicting a mild winter apparently we should ignore their forecasts because we on here of course know better!

Imagine the reaction if we get 3 months of Barlettgeddon!

[knocker]

A really foul evening here with moderate rain and a southerly 26mph gusting 46.

You are hoping matey rainman, aren't you the one that loves mild and rain?

I'll think I'll put Bartlettgeddon as a swear filter.
