Can recall few such noticeable "day darkness" events as this.

Went very dark here, near Benson, Oxon, around 3pm-3.30pm with moderate
rain. No thunder or lightning though.

Greetings from a very WET Marlow (Bucks)-1656.
Day darkness in Marlow at 1515, followed by heavy/torrential rain,-
rain rate 121.00mm an hour.
Looking at radar returns to south of area, thunder looks a strong
threat.

Rainfall was more intense than I thought here as the roads were awash at
5pm.

No thunder heard here, but certainly an early darkness. The eye is
always rather unreliable when it comes to the accurate assessment low
light levels, but my solarimeter confirmed global solar radiation fell
to zero from 1459z. This coincided with a very un-December like burst
of heavy rain, max 39 mm/h according to my VP2 (always seems a bit
high on intensity compared with the other TBRs).

Rainfall 18 mm since 14z, still raining, quite a bit more than I was
expecting from this morning's forecast ...
