Rapid convective developments taking place over Dartmoor right now.
Heavy rain set in rapidly, big drops and lots of them.
Bright radar echoes to north and east.
Wouldn't be surprised to hear thunder soon.

Torrential rain. Patio under water. Spot reading on AWS indicated 51
mm/h. For a few seconds it was tropical intensity much higher than
that. Coming down in bursts, one minute fairly quiet, the next
clattering onto the velux.

It's been pretty bad in Somerset over the last hour or two - we're
actually less flooded here than yesterday but news is coming in about
problems across the levels....

Thanks.
I reckon we may see more of this in the days to come!
Take care.


If it carries on overnight I reckon work from home tomorrow!


I'm lucky, I don't work Fridays anymore!
A good storm to watch would be fantastic :-)


Yeah - since I got my Digital SLR the storms have avoided my lenses!
