Radar at 1930 GMT had zero rainfall rate over us (as far as I can tell
squinting at the Met Office maps). Actual ground truth was 1.5 mm/h

It has been continuous moderate rain now for over 3 hours (occasionally
heavy).

Yes it shows zero rainfall in Fleet, Hampshire too, but I've just been out
for a run and it rained from start to finish. Only light rain though.

Got a nice view of about 1,000 fireworks displays from the top of Firs Hill,
I could see every display in Fleet, Farnborough and Camberley
simultaneously. Quite a sight.


Sounds great!
Big bangs and flashes round here too, dog is a wreck though.

2100 GMT

9.9 mm total now
Rate 2.3 mm/h

Radar had zero rain at 2030 GMT , actual rate on the ground 1.6 mm/h

The moor will be getting very wet now again and the rivers will be swelling.
