Yet more torrential rain at the moment......we're now up to approx 13mm for the day so far, on top of the 7.75mm measured yesterday. Bish

Blissful conditions this morning. I don't think I've ever been happier to see cold, driving rain falling as I have this weekend! That peculiar gulping noise you might hear in the distance is the sound of my garden enjoying its first proper drink in two months 8.50 mm so far already today, to go on top of the 7.75 mm from yesterday. Bish

Blimey, thundering here and yet more torrential rain Bish

Blimey, it all went a bit Biblical for a little while - howling wind coupled with torrential rain. Just heard an almighty cracking noise in the back garden, and one of the main branches of our beautiful silver birch tree has snapped and is hanging precariously Bish

It's absolutely bucketing down now, Hallelujah!!!!! Genuinely chilly as well, 14.2°C compared to 29.1°C this time yesterday. Bish

We're starting to see some quite decent squally showers here now. It'd be nice if we could squeeze in a few bonus mm today before the main liquid feast arrives tomorrow. Every single drop is vital, because next week looks like turning increasingly warm & dry once again. Bish

Incredibly blustery here. Lots of dark clouds shooting by, but none of them are producing anything bar the odd spot or two. We had a tiny amount of rain overnight, but not enough to make any difference. At least tomorrow looks like finally delivering. Currently 17.1°C, which is down approximately 10°C compared to the same time yesterday! Bish

Blimey, it's really starting to kick off to the east! Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire should be right in the firing line. The radar is even detecting some ppn to the south of Stratford-upon-Avon, fingers crossed it develops into something substantial and heads right this way..... Currently 30.7°C with a dp of 13.9°C Bish

We managed to reach 31.5°C here an hour ago, although it seems to have mostly clouded over since. Currently 29.9°C with a dp of 13.6°C If it wasn't for all this cloud, the maxes today would've been scary-hot Bish

28.6°C here, pretty impressive considering the amount of hazy cloud, although we have had some longer spells of sunshine as well. Looks like the East and North of the region are the places to be re potential thunderstorms later today, although anywhere is in with a chance - good luck everyone! Bish

We edged just above 30°C an hour or so ago, despite the extra cloud this afternoon and a noticeable breeze. Currently 28.9°C Took a walk up to Chessetts Wood this morning, very picturesque but bloomin' hot Bish

Wow, it's 28.4°C here, and still rising. I had realised today was supposed to get this warm. At least we have a decent breeze today, however. Bish

We had around an hour or so of light-to-moderate rain here, with more possibly on the way from the NW later this evening. The local weather station says a whopping 0.50mm has fallen so far, not sure how accurate that reading is because there are a few small puddles dotted around. Bish

At last, it's actually RAINING here!!!!! Proper, actual rain than I can even hear falling on the roof!!!! Bish

Very light rain here right now. Barely enough to bother the rain gauge though! Bish
