says it all really all hype whilst I agree its raining since about 9'ish AM
its mostly very light or continuous light drizzle with even bright spells in
west London. I think this is same for further north of London too. I guess
its all tipped out across the south west. Took long enough to even arrive
here as well this morning.

Ah this is more like it but it took its time to come 14.53hrs now and its
"official rain" the sort that bounces off the pavement not heavy but light.
Though how nuch of this before it peters out i'd be surprised

Just glad to see you uncharacteristically appreciating the much needed rain
in these parts ;-)

It's been p***ing it down here in Southamptonland for 12 hours now,
light to moderate but continuous. Over half an inch of it so far at a
guess (had a quick glance at the rain guage but I wasn't staying out
there to measure it!). From the radar, Nigel in Romsey should have had
more than me.

That'll take it well over 50mm here, for the month to date. Enough! I
say *squelch*.

Very little rain in Norfolk, just a couple of drizzly showers. Still
gloomy and cool enough to feel like October though.

I can vouch for that. I was thoroughly soaked by the time I had cycled
from Southampton Central to my office 6 miles away this morning. At
least we have showers in the building so I can get clean and dry!

I daren't think how much has fallen on Dartmoor today. I've had 11mm so far
which doesn't sound much but that's 32 mm this week, which is a lot for
here!

Very little so far here in North Leeds. Just a few light spits for a few
moments then stopped for an hour or so before a very light shower at
approx 16.30 hrs.
Not bad since we were supposed to be getting a deluge from about 12noon
onwards.

43.4mm here in Haytor, so far ...
Higher up there has been circa 69mm near Postbridge at 360m asl.
I estimate 90mm on the most exposed Tors.

and it's still heaving down at 3.3 mm/h here.

Circa 170mm in the month so far.
