Well my wx station is flagging a new record every few seconds -
most rain in an hour. Currently 9.6mm (update 10.8) at a pretty
steady 10 to 14 mm/hr rate.

Lowest pressure records also being set.

Before you comment - this is since 28 July when I started
measuring.

Large area of moderate or heavy rain stretching from south Devon to
Norfolk.
I estimate the wettest place since midnight is Portland with 20.7
mm and wet for around 4 hours. Sittingbourne on the other hand has
been wet for 12:15m and has an estimated 9.7 mm.

The nearest estimate to you that I have is Wallingford is 9.8 mm in
just 2:15m.

Still only a trace in mid-Devon although we might get side-swiped
this evening as the low tracks NE.

No we won't the forecast was ****e for us.

C'mon Will, you know the old saying: the forecast's always right,
it's just the timing that's out. Perhaps we should add 'and the
placing that's out'.

Or: "The forecast was right; it was the weather that was wrong!"

The radar at the moment looks rather like yesterday evening's forecast
for about 0900 this morning.
