Hi Joe,

Shows how local the rainfall can be only 7.6mm her in Kempston. I could
hear and see the thunder over there.

Must be some flooding.

Remembering, of course, that 03560 is actually at Thurleigh (i.e.
the
old RAE Bedford site) which is a good 10km north of the town.

I could see the cunims from here (Luton) ... I don't think I've
ever seen such huge clouds with such massive anvils in the
UK before. 2mm in a shower at lunchtime, a trace since (so far).

Quite impressive Joe,

In my post of earlier today, you will see there was also a downpour here at
a rain rate of in excess of 36mm/hr.

I reckon you must have been under that white bit on the radar, Joe.

Cheers

Tony

...add another 2.2mm since 18Z. I'd imagine the odds on a hosepipe ban in the
Bedford area this summer must be slim.

Very true, however the grass needs cutting as it's as green and long as
early spring(:

I managed 15.4mm here in the centre of town. Months total now in excess of
100mm, first time since Sep 98 for me.
