It's been p***ing it down here in Southamptonland for 12 hours now,
light to moderate but continuous. Over half an inch of it so far at a
guess (had a quick glance at the rain guage but I wasn't staying out
there to measure it!). From the radar, Nigel in Romsey should have had
more than me.

I've just returned from a day in the great outdoors and I can
confidently report that it was wet. Another burst of mod to
heavy rain as I type, so the totals listed below for Romsey
are rapidly becoming out of date.

Last 12 hours (09/0900-09/2100Z)... 26.5mm
Last 24 hours (08/2100-09/2100Z)... 38.2mm
Month to date.................................... 66.1mm

As I suspected, a bit wetter up your way on Wednesday. The final
totals for the day here we

Last 24 hours (00Z to 00Z): 31.1 mm
Month to date: 72.2 mm (because of the 28.6mm on the 7th).

Two days like this so close together are very unusual here - I think I
can safely say the rain wasn't over-hyped for here! And that poor
nesting dove on the back wall now has rain dripping off its tail. It
is still raining!
