Still Marty pello here in Russell Square

[alexisj9]

No rain here yet apart from this morning half hours worth of drizzle, looks like it's slowly edging this way though.

[tomp456]

4.3mm so far. where's the heavy stuff

[Rain123]

Chucking it down here now. 

[lassie23]

The ground needed this rain, as long as it warms back up again and we have a good August, I'll be happy.

 

There is a disgusting smell coming from outside that smells like rotting vegetables. I presume the farmer has put something on the fields.

Probably onions.

My car is getting its first wash for 10 months. Finally, some proper heavy rain for the garden and an accurate forecast from the beeb.

Chucking it down with proper rain here, lovely! No God-awful drizzle for once. Can almost hear the plants and trees sighing with relief. Pretty crap temps tho! Only 15C here.

Interesting article about the windy weather this year. I know stainesbloke has been irritated by it, as have I.

How do you know that will be the case? the depression is slowly moving eastwards so I'd say anywhere from those red lines eastwards and as the LP moves east they'll be a 'wrap around' with further heavy rainfall.

 

Because the "wrap around" looks to be say London perhaps even more west.. it's called the "pivot point" as illustrated below as the low pulls east also look at the radar..

Gone really dark here

[Man With Beard]

Rain stopped. Looking brighter. Is it just a pause?

[Mesoscale]

Love weather like this, only not in the summer haha.

[warrenb]

I see we are all on blob watch again. I reckon pivot point will be East Sussex/West Kent and up through London.

[Dami]

I just notice we haven't had much wind here today. *shocker*

 

suddenly it has picked up.

[Kent Blizzard]

It's got the look and feel of Autumn out there..Oh well we got time to dry off tomorrow before the next lot on Sunday ..typical for a weekend! At least Monday not looking a scorcher just to rub it in

Sure I just heard some very distant thunder here, don't think the lightning registered oh lightning map app though.

I'm on holiday in Deal at the moment and it has finally started.   Looking forward to a sample of some of the spectacular storms you can get down here.
