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.

90 mm/h now.
Patio still under water.
Severe weather warning just issued for Devon :-)

I know! Amazing! It wasn't there an hour and a half ago! The warnings
were for areas further East and North, not for Devon. The convergence
zone has drifted further West. Heavy rain (again) in Dawlish now.
