Lots of thunder but little rain (0.5mm) from that one. The recent heavy
downpours have been very localised indeed.

Heavy downpours all day here in North Kent. The weather here this Summer reminds me more of Summers in my native Glasgow. If the weather doesn't improve soon the this tune could be the soundtrack to Summer 2012:

Released March 1966 and I remember it. Perhaps we could get rid of
weather presenters and put on the appropriate music video to get the
message across. Some cracking downpours later on in the summer of 1966
in Enfield as I drove my little electric bread van around (student job)
discovering that the single windscreen wiper stopped working as the
battery got tired. I even recall the weather on World Cup Final day
1966. Warm with heavy showers in the morning, drier in the afternoon.
