At least 6" rain(150mm+)over 2/3 days in Surrey mid September
1968.Occasional thunder and lightning accompanied the most intense
rainfall.
First two weeks of August 1975 in Southern England ,lots of thundery
weather,high humidity high temperatures and that true tropical feel.None
of the thunderstorms appeared to clear the air.At the end, 14? August
watching the spectacular cloud structure over the Hampstead area as I
walked from the City to London Bridge station.
