Certainlv hammerng down here - came back from Pompey this afternoon
and it started there at about 1500 and by 1700 it was really coming
down in Blandford. back here we are at 15.2mm but the back edge seems
imminent on the radar

Once this clears I guess tomorrow may see the wrap around effect? What
do you reckon? After all there is a warning out for the same amount of
rain again (as i read it)

I am off underground so it should be certainly sporting caving on the
mendips tomorrow

A cloud-wracked moon, temperature around 11degC (after rising smartly
from 7degC a couple of hours ago).

Stopped here at 1915 allowing jacket free dog walk. Clocked up 21.4mm
here and like you at times heavy.
Actually nothing like as heavy as that on the squall line last
Tuesday(?) night just after midnight when the AWS zoomed up to
112mm/per hour.
I am up to 168mm here this month but the more exposed AWS at work
might be higher. I have records there for 5 - 6 years and it might be
a record month I think.

.... (0930Z/Sunday): bucketing down as I start to type this (heavy
shower), after a night of slight, ocnl moderate rain showers.

Rainfall 24hr to 29/09Z = 27.6 mm.

Month's total now = 161 mm, roughly 164% of eLTA (1971-2000)

Before this current shower came along, the sky full of all sorts of
cloud, from ragged Cu to thick/ex Cb cirrus tufts.
