over hyped rain in the East and South East
 

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.

Circa 170mm in the month so far.

Try telling that to the silly soggy Dove that's nesting on my back
garden floodlight on a high-up corner, exposed to the West! :D

50.8mm in Penzance in 24 hours ending 18:00 today.
That's the largest 24 hour total since 78.9mm on 26/6/06
90.4mm so far this month.

Still, with a bit of a swell, only moderate SW winds, 18-19C, SST
15-16C and some sunshine, might be pretty good for a bit of
bodyboarding this weekend.

Rained all day here. Ever so wet. A clearance should be here within
the hour. Thank goodness.

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!
