Well, as I alluded to last Friday the "first sustained rainfall for the

didn't happen. But last night's News 24 forecast at 12.30 a.m showed

rain
moving up from the South to cover Kent, Essex, Suffolk and South

Norfolk.
"This may linger all morning in the S.E and be heavy at times the

further
East you are before moving out in to the North Sea"
Didn't even get a mention this morning. There appears to have been some

rain
on the Kent coast so maybe it was the graphics that were skewed but the
commentary on them certainly gave an impression of widespread rain

across
the region. Not bad for an eight hour forecast!


Hey, we got 0.3mm this morning! And I'm sure I heard some thunder off in
the distance.

Just a few spots here (between 0425 and 0645 gmt) barely enough to set off
the wetness sensors.

My rainfall total this month so far is 8.4 mm. It looks like being the
dryest July since I began in 1995.

Unusually, you seem to have caught more of the showers than I, here at
Boughton-under-Blean.
