The heavy rain shown moving NE on the recent radar imagery has
developed an intense pocket just to the East of Southampton just West
of Fareham) and I mean intense (32mm/hour on the avbrief 2030Z
image).

Completely knocked out my Sky satellite reception. No thunder or
lightning. Grrr!!!!

Its hit here at about 22:10 I cant measure how intense it is but the
drains in the road are making an ominous gloop-gloop sound. Ive just
sand-bagged the air-bricks.

Wow, it shows up beautifully on the 2045GMT radar image, my house is
actually within the single 5KM white (32mm/h) block. Here's an
enlragement of the radar image (my house is dead centre inside the
circle)

My local local late night shop was flooded, as were some local roads
(but not blocked).

I measured only the last hour of the rain event, from when the
satellite went off (forgot to empty my guage until then- oops!) and
that measured 12.3 mm. So looking at the radar images, I probably
had about 25 mm in all, in the two hours it was raining.

I asked my neighbour how much he measured - 19 mm in those 2 hours.

Indeed, here in Bracknell, the bulk of our 18.4mm came in just two
hours. For the 24hr rainfall total, it was the highest such rainfall
since November last year.
