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.

I've just returned from a day in the great outdoors and I can
confidently report that it was wet. Another burst of mod to
heavy rain as I type, so the totals listed below for Romsey
are rapidly becoming out of date.

Last 12 hours (09/0900-09/2100Z)... 26.5mm
Last 24 hours (08/2100-09/2100Z)... 38.2mm
Month to date.................................... 66.1mm

As I suspected, a bit wetter up your way on Wednesday. The final
totals for the day here we

Last 24 hours (00Z to 00Z): 31.1 mm
Month to date: 72.2 mm (because of the 28.6mm on the 7th).

Two days like this so close together are very unusual here - I think I
can safely say the rain wasn't over-hyped for here! And that poor
nesting dove on the back wall now has rain dripping off its tail. It
is still raining!

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

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

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.

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.
