Raining here now. Possibility, it could be the wettest June since 2020, regionally.

Potential for thunder still with ECM during Sunday afternoon

ECM 0z looks potentially thundery for the north , Sunday afternoon

There was a short heatwave from the 19th to the 21st of June 1936, when maxima got into the 30s. 31.7°C on the 20th and 21st being the highest record. The heatwave did not last long though as it turned into an increasingly thundery breakdown with heavy thunderstorms breaking out over many western and southern areas. South Farnborough: a storm occurred on the 20th of June from 2.05pm to 2.25pm. 30mp squalls reported and the thermometer fell from 85.5F to 70.0F in 28 minutes. A second storm from 9.10pm to 10.20pm with 48mph gusts. Cherry sized hail fell Hailsham: 2.2" of rain on the 19th Wigan: 2.11" of rain on the 22nd The far north of Scotland escaped with Lerwick recording 17.3hrs of sunshine on the 21st. Bit of an odd summer 1936 was. July was a total washout, the wettest since 1888 and yet August was the driest since 1818 for England and Wales. Summer CETwise, it was unremarkable with 15.4°C

12mm of rain today.

Manchester ECM ensembles don't look special for late June into early July

Shows how localised these downpours were as I got 17.6mm since that overnight storm

Seems to be a band of heavier precipitation developing along England/Wales border

Radar doesn't look impressive to the south, atm. Most of the active echoes look like going up the Pennines and to the east with reminants coming up this way

Can hear thunder. Netweather radar seems stuck on 4.35pm

Yes there was
