Alan,

Rossendale has had an incredible amount of rain from a thunderstorm that
developed and crept along the western side of the Pennines, from about
4:15pm until around 6:30pm. Rainfall total recorded 44.2mm for the
duration!!! Somewhere in the region MUST have experienced flash flooding.
After a slight respite it's started to rain again.

Nothing of any great note here, some moderate/heavy rain earlier
this evening, what little thunder/lightning there was being undramatic.

Just started raining again and thunder seems nearer so the
chance of some action yet......
