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*.

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!

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.

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!

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are rapidly becoming out of date.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
