It was heavy enough here Martin. Visibility dropped to about 300M in
heavy rain and hail. Footpaths were turned into fast-flowing streams.
Heaviest rain I've seen for about thirty years.

.... goes to show what a sharp cut-off is associated with these beasts: I
was following on radar (& traffic reports), and any minute expected
something really torrential, but nothing occurred.
I could see not far away to the NE from us (we are on the SW edge of
Bracknell for those that don't know), a shaft of heavy rain reducing the
visibility significantly.

Martin.
