There it goes again thought I might have heard something but not sure. Very infrequent but better than nothing.

Yes, you did hear something, it was over Ince Blundell.

[Chris.R]

Flow direction is going to take it up the Mersey so nowhere near me but would have been good in old house.

[Miamay]

Gone really dark here. Rain has started and I’ve lost my sky signal !!

[Miamay]

We have torrential rain now

[Chris.R]

Lightning has died off

[russwirral]

Over on wirral, watcjing a couplenof decent flashes in the dry. Nice.

[Chris.R]

One more strike after nothing

[Chris.R]

And another one. Almost in Ellesmere port now.

[russwirral]

As weather goes, i cant say it gets much better than that... all our windows were like waterfalls... lightning exploding over head. No delay in sound and flash. Roads are like rivers and lakes. I might go the rest of my life and not see that again

[Rush2019]

Cool, dark and the ground damp.  A bit misty too, felt colder in the night than the 9°C the temp dropped to.  Could have a brighter afternoon once the rain showers move away east.

Woken up in the midst of a very heavy rain shower, looking at the ground outside its been going like the clappers for a while 

[russwirral]

Exceptional flooding here. Had about 50mm of rain last night with the rain gauge hitting a 80mm per hr mark.

Everything flooded. Alot of cars ruined.

Cant believe this isnt on the news. Never seen anything like this.

 

Local golf course is under alot of water. Roads closed.

 A really poor start to the day. Under a shower stream and 10mm so far. Some places have had a lot of rain this weekend.

Just taken our new puppy out in the garden for her early toilet visit and there is a real autumnal feel this morning. The air is still, misty and damp with everything coated in tiny water droplets. The spiders have been busy overnight as there are webs everywhere. Not a drop of rain here yet so we seem to have got away with that so far.

Constant rain since I woke this morning. Accompanied my daughter's driving practice up to Broadway for her last day at the leisure centre there before going back to uni. Probably the heaviest train she's driven in, the roads were awash. Hope it dries up later, all our plans are outdoors!

Absolutely lashing it down here since just before 6am. I'd say easily, 10mm+ of rain. Feels very cool outside. Summer is well and truly gone now and we're into Autumn now, no doubt about that.

[Chris.R]

Imagine if this was snow. 2010 repeat for sure

[Chris.R]

It will be dry and sunny west of the Pennines before long

[WillinGlossop]

12c foggy autumnal drizzle … off to Sheffield in a bit… 

[alr1970]

Brightening up a bit now, radar gives a hint that this rain might be on the way out.

[Chris.R]

Sun just come out here.

Nothing of interest for a few days now.

[Snowmad79]

Cold drizzly start to the morning and now bouncing it down with rain. Aweful.

[A Face like Thunder]

Must have rained heavily overnight, with roads covered in puddles. Still raining off and on and definitely no sign of it brightening up yet.

[Had Worse]

Bright and drizzly here in Newquay.  Might get on the beach tomorrow as its forecast a dry day with sunny spells although cool at 18°C.

I see back home has been something of a washout with bonus thunder.

@WillinGlossop, I'll be watching the match later in the onside bar.
