Hi all

Had 45 mm rain today - most since 0600 UT - and still chucking it down!

Here in Surrey and across Sussex there is major event going on with severe
storms. In Coulsdon rain is now torrential, cascades of water down my hill
and widespread flooding is now reported in the region. Could be big news.
Lightning become very active and deafening thunder. Now shutting down.

Thunderstorm with heavy rain at the time of observation.
My boots, cagoule and overtrousers are now dripping in my office!

I'm not sure what we are up to now in Fleet but its coming down in
torrential bursts now. Water is streaming in through my air bricks
despite best attempt to sandbag. Not sure of the implications? Much of
house is surrounded and drains have given up. Sky was very yellow but
looking more normal grey now. How much longer here in Hampshire?

Not much here in Marble Arch, central London, so far.

A couple of rumbles of thunder around 11.15 and it's gone black and is
raining more heavily now, but I'm wondering if that's preceding a clearance.

Any idea yet how much rain has fallen ?Reminded me of weekend daytime August
1978 when your area was in a convergence zone?

Here in Yateley (NE Hants) approx 85mm since it started about 3am. Not
measured in a proper gauge but in a straight-sided container. 50mm of
that fell between 9.30 and 12 noon BST.

Unconfirmed report of over 100mm from Mytchett near Farnborough. From
driving through it I'd say it has been even heavier over towards
Basingstoke way.

Easing off a little now (albeit still heavy) as the heaviest cell
pushes north very slowly.

Nope, I was wrong about a clearance. It's now 12.20 pm and it looks as if
it was the onset of our part in the main event - it's been heavy for the
past 25 mins, with thunder every 30 secs or so. Clouds still coming in
from the SW, BTW.

seems to be mostly stopped now - I'm going out to admire the effects......

I wonder if we will bet some convective stuff later?
