Default [WR] Torrential rain, Birmingham

Was in Birmingham today and got caught short in a torrential downpour at
the QE hospital in the south of the city. Only about 15 minutes of heavy
rainfall just around 11am, but enought to cause seven roads to flood on
the way into the city centre. The main road through to village of
Curdworth was also heavily flooded at about 11:30am with water forcing
itself out of manhole covers. Would be interesting to know how much rain
fell at that time in the area!

On returning to Canterbury this evening, I was caught out by another
sharp, heavy shower at about 7:45pm.
