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.

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

I'll say!

Here in Cheltenham, 91mm & counting, not to mention the 19mm we had up
to 9am!

That's easily the wettest 24 hour total I've recorded since 1983. My old
record was 70.5mm on 7/7/01.

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.

After the downpour had stopped (1105Z) I measured 60.1 mm
(since 8 a.m. BST) making it the second wettest day in my 24-yr record
after 1 Oct 1993 (68.5 mm). Not much lightning and thunder
considering the torrential nature of the rain at times. My road
turned into a river over its entire width, almost entirely due to run-
off from the field at the back of the house. This is now a wet July
(93.8 mm), the rainfall this morning almost exactly equalling the
1971-2000 average.
This has been an interesting and rather old-fashioned
summer though having said that I am very grateful indeed not to have
been flooded. Nothing is worse.

Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, NE Surrey, 556 ft.

26.5mm at the Reading University site in the 24h to 0900GMT.
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?
