Rain has arrived. It was ridiculously humid this morning so quite the relief.

Lovely bit of rain this evening for about half hour. Garden needed it and it was lovely to hear. Wouldn't mind a summer of rainfall like that a couple of times a week in amongst long, warm days.

Must admit I'm looking forward to a day of rain tomorrow to water the ground and clear the air.

It feels much hotter in bed (not in that way you detty pigs) than previous nights even though it's not as hot.

First overhead storm for me this year this morning. Not as much T&L as I would like but nice to see some and a nice downpour for the garden. 6/10.
-
Nice rumble of thunder to wake me up. Hopefully whatever is approaching from the SW gives us something good.

Woken up by a surprise rumble of thunder! Looks like something approaching from the SW.

Unless something spontaneous pops up, I can't see anything stormy happening for my area, everything looks in line to miss.

Suddenly got very humid. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Got woken by a couple of rumbles at about 1.30am and some lovely rain but nothing overhead. Met have taken away much of the rain for today and any storms, Beeb still going with a rainy day and storms.

So can we have a reminder please, or a new thread?

There's been a few threads about thunderstorm memories. Quite often people remembered the same storm as other posters.

Thankful for a bit of rain today and forecast for tomorrow. Mainly to knock the pollen out the air because hayfever this year has been BRUTAL, nothing is working and can't find any relief. I don't even usually get it too badly so I feel bad for those who normally have it severely.

That's a good question Lauren and it would be good if someone on here could point us to a source of official station stats (as opposed to amateur readings). The Met Office Historic Station Data only provides monthly stats per station. My old source of such data was a site called Ogimet which provided excellent daily stats for 145 UK stations, but that site doesn't seem to have been updated for a while.
So I have fallen back on using the Netweather Extra Hi-Res Rain Total map to 'see' where rain has fallen. This can be analysed by day, week and month. This shows for Kent that you have to go back to the 15th May to see the last time some patchy rainfall fell for parts of the county. After that dry with the exception of some light showers on the 12th June mainly impacting the Medway Estuary area. Some charts:
15th May
Week 15 - 21 May (the rain shown fell on the 15th)
Week 29 May - 04 Jun
Jun to date (the rain shown fell on the 12th)
So using my rather broad brush methodology it would suggest that most parts of Kent have now gone around 30 days since rain last fell.
Thanks for that, it's very helpful. Almost feels like a good thing to invent!

Is there anywhere that records when the last time a place had rain was? I honestly can't think when when we last had some.
-
Been some absolutely huge towers round here today but sadly nothing came from it.
-
Convective skies above is today. Not sure if anything will come of it
-
Incredibly humid here but I very much doubt we'll see any action.
-
It's already incredibly warm out there and my hayfever is in full swing. Hopefully we get some decent convective action this weekend but I won't hold my breath.
-
Looks like it's going to be very much a ow casting event where I am for tonight. I think if we do see action it's likely to be distant.

Nicely starting to feel like summer now. Breeze is still a little chilly but the icyness has gone out of it. Bring on the hot days and stormy nights!

Although lovely and warm in the sun, the breeze is very cold, icy even! Would be nice to be able to sit out in the garden without getting blasted by cold winds every five minutes.

I honestly can't deal with the rollercoaster forecasts. Seems very much like nowcasting all the time at the moment. Getting married on Thursday and this is not helping!

Rain came to nothing and it's so humid again. Just give me a storm!
