Default [WR] S.Essex. Heavy rain, not much wind.

I was expecting it to be very windy overnight but maximum gust was only
29 mph and just quite breezy this morning. The rain however was well
predicted with 24.6mm including what fell late last night (9.00 till
9.00). This was easily the highest 24 hour amount since June 23rd and
has properly ended our drought although no standing water in the garden
as would normally be the case with that amount of rain at this time of
year.

I was in Norfolk over the weekend near Swaffham, there was plenty of rain
but only light winds. Not a very good forecast for that area, maybe the
coast had stronger winds.
Another foul day here in Weston Coyney today very overcast with rain for
much of the day, hopefully getting better by Wednesday, fingers crossed
