Quite persistent rain for a change in the SE today, looking at the
radar I think it's more over Essex than Kent. 2.6mm so far.

14.3mm in Fleet so far and still p*ssing down. Lots of standing water.

Seems to have been much worse in the central south (I'm in
Southampton) than the southeast. Mostly light but seemed almost
torrential for a short while around 6.30pm. I have to admit I'm amazed
at how active this system, which just seemed to be a minor trough on
the south side of the high, has been. I genuinely expected no more
than occasional drizzle today - and I think that's what the forecast
said, away from the far SE.

To the northwest of you, Nick, I have measured almost 1 inch of
rain this afternoon/evening, and looking through my records, the
22.4mm that has fallen in Romsey since 0900Z, makes today the
2nd wettest of the year. In fact, today was the soggiest since the
9th Feb when 27.0mm fell.
