I'm sure these showers will break out in other areas and there are
lots of reports of Cbs, but let's see if most people in those areas
get heavy rain. A difficult one to monitor exactly, I know, but let's
have a go.

"Homes across south and mid-Norfolk suffered flooding after torrential rain
today.
The fire service received around 20 calls to homes in New Buckenham, Old
Buckenham, Marlingford, Wymondham, Dereham, Tibenham and Thetford.
The worst flooding was in New Buckenham, near Attleborough, where homes in
King Street, Haugh Road, Castle Hill Road, Marsh Lane and Cake Street were
affected. Rain started in the late afternoon just as villagers were packing
away from their Open Gardens event, and continued for around four hours.
Fran Doe, who lives on King Street, had to bale water out of her back porch.
She said: "I was baling the water out with a dustpan, and now I have got to
get a load of towels out to soak the rest up. We had four fire units down
here for about two hours. The houses down the road opposite Rosemary Lane
have flooded again - they flood quite regularly. It was so sudden that
no-one realised it was going to happen."
Earlier today the Met Office issued a warning of slow-moving thunderstorms
bringing torrential downpours and hail, and said there could be 2-4cm of
rain (žin to 1˝ in) in a few hours in some areas."
