Yea your right it wasn't prolonged drizzle but a short  shower of drizzle ..:)

[MAF]

definite showers at 0630 this morning. too warm for a jacket so just got wet instead, going to work. 

[Methuselah]

I think there might be something going on somewhere NW of here? It's getting blacker and blacker as time goes on!

Oh dear, what a waste: yet another bust! 

[Tn9]

Got a heavy shower up North of me  but as usual its where I should have been but not and where I am ,not usually (at home)nothing  tell a lie got 5 big big dollops must be building south..a tad 

[Lauren]

Absolutely chucking it down here but think it will be very short lived.

[Tn9]

Zoomed in geo wise ..she's started to spin . ..thats why I had a few dollops .. secondary flow that is ..some call it convergence

Crazy it's chucking it down, like... There was nothing on the radar earlier 

[alexisj9]

Got some heavy rain from a shower now.

[Tn9]

Just to say how dry south east London and north west Kent is ..this is in  Swanley..but its all the same ..so i dont know how it can be a wet month at all if it is its ran away because it hasn't soaked in for sure ...

Yeah just looked at radar, think there's a convergence like yesterday, so cloud gets to us, then builds showers. Some heavy ones about moving this way, not sure where the light rain on radar is coming from though, as at the minute then sun is out, and it is dry. Shower will get here soon though.

Think I know what's causing that, lower clouds here have been moving north, all day, which is against the main north westerly.

Yea your right ..its a  different direction at all different levels by the looks here  anyway ..towards Maidstone its really menacing. 

But nothing here in east Tonbridge ..can you see the spin ..all the bigger clouds are doing it

I would gladly share in the joy of storms if that was possible! Though it is pretty much over to be fair, rain aside.. so you haven't really missed out
