Pitter-patter of >>>something<<< on the skylight at hours 0-light-thirty. Unlikely to be pigeons as unaccompanied by billing, cooing or avian clog dancing. Look out of window. Yep, rain in E17.

Still, it's good for the mattresses.

Plus thunder and lightening here in the Chiltern. Around 30mm or rain in half an hour.

We had all day rain on Wednesday (and I mean all day), showers Thursday, and then proper heavy showers/hail from Friday midday until midday today. Today had the added benefit of being traditional Welsh showers - it's raining all the time, but 'showers' refers to it changing from light rain ("oh, this is sort of ok") to "you thought your coat was waterproof, did you?" heavy rain, usually at a really inconvenient moment. Yesterday it was also accompanied by a 40mph wind. Soggy.

A downpour for about 30minutes means that I don't have to water the weeds today

Proper rain and lightning here in SW London. And, we were smart enough not to waste time watering the plot this morning.

I don't know when the rain started, but it was raining at 6am when I woke up. It's 7.30pm and it's still raining. Can't complain after last month though.
We could probably do with another 36 hours or so.

Thunder, lightning, hail and terrified mattresses fleeing for cover earlier.

nw3weather recorded 8.6mm rain yesterday, 8.2mm within one hour and a total of 9mm for the past 31 days.

We’ve been for a long walk, got back about 23:00. No rain but signs of rivers of water everywhere.

I carefully studied the weather radar to find a one hour gap in the weather for a walk. I headed out as the rain was easing off. After a few minutes I could take my hood down. I walked away from home for 32 minutes, turned round and headed home. Ten minutes later the rain began, then it got worse, then increased in intensity even more. I got thoroughly soaked. Turns out my cotton t-shirt was longer than my water proof jacket, and wicked up the run off.

Nice walk tho, i needed the exercise and fresh air. Shame i seem to be so crap at interpreting weather radar...

There is one point on my weekend running route where there must be a spring under the road. There has been water there every time I've been passed since I started using that route regularly. Except this morning that is. Completely dry.

And the water is back.

Some nice steady fairly heavy rain this afternoon, be good for the garden.

Bit of rain here today. Very welcome since I had a new lawn laid yesterday!! Long may it rain!!!

ElyDave · « **Reply #90 on:** 07 June, 2020, 05:29:07 pm »

Pretty heavy most of the day yesterday, with a few claps of thunder.

Today, although windy, I thought I could get out for my weekly TT ahead of the rain. I was wrong. It started just as I started my timed course and got heavier as I went.

It's been raining since I woke up. Which is a pain as I wanted to go for a bike ride, but don't fancy getting soaked if I don't have to...

Another hour of rain according to the weather map...

It's just dark here. And breezy.

Oh for some stair rods, or bright sunlight!

cycleman · « **Reply #93 on:** 11 June, 2020, 08:12:34 pm »

A short burst of rain mid morning then increasingly bright with sunny glimmers

Blimey. Major thunderstorm, lots of lightning & rain shaking my windows.

That one just missed us - it was black over Bill's mother's' over Nantwich way to the east with the full light show and noises off, and I tracked it north over Chester - and presumably then barrelled its way over the water.

Currently chucking it straight down and bouncing off the pavements here - glad I didn't decide to chance it and try and get out for a quick ride.

Jaded · « **Reply #97 on:** 15 June, 2020, 12:00:57 am »

Got rained on in Bristol today. Also last night when out for a lockdown walk.

Doesn't seem like normal lockdown to me.
