I see that there is still a yellow warning for heavy rain in force for the
North Midlands and the whole of the North of England, valid until midnight.
The
warning was re-issued at 1707 this evening. It makes no sense. A glance at
the
radar shows that the rain has already cleared all but the extreme NE of
England. It seems that the warning system doesn't include provision for
explicit cancellation of a warning or, if it does include such provision, it
isn't used. A warning for heavy rain this evening isn't particularly helpful
to
Joe Public in this part of the country.

Hi, Norman,
33mm here mostly between 18hr and 19hr with max rate on Davis of 88mm/hr.
20mm fell between 1810hr and 1840hr. I was driving in it over to
Middlesbrough and it wasn't pleasant.
A weather warning was definitely in order here!
