i see more monsoon rain here very soon,

[Snowangel-MK]

Morning....just drizzle here, think I'll go back to bed

[StLuke]

No T or L but torrential rain for the past hour in Southend!

[Paul Sherman]

Certainly is Torrential, My pond is almost at tipping point, garden has quite a few puddles as well.

Still looking good for some T&L early afternoon for our neck of the woods if some insolation can occur.

'Morning Chris. I can see a vast expanse of blackness over your way...

Was going out to see the Olympic torch pass through in an hour, but not sure now

[lottiekent]

Noticing the precip is starting to rotate back round again to the west and sw of London

[abruzzi spur]

Throwing it down here, again. Off to play squash in an attempt to shift the calories that I am planning then to top up over the rest of today... Welsh rarebit for lunch, homemade burgers with 3x cooked chunky chips a la Heston (Blumenthal, rather than the service station) in the evening. It's all isotonic - perfectly in tune with my body, unfortunately.

Have a good day all

Sick and tired of this seemingly endless grey muck now.

Try something other than tapioca then!

Edit: oops, showing my age.

HAHAHA...That could be very true Coast. Sadly enough.

[Norfolk Sheep]

12mm rain overnight, now in a NE flow (bring back the balmy SE'ly from yesterday! )

[Snowangel-MK]

OH GOOD GRIEF !!

Can't even have a decent lay in here...the council turned up to mow the park grass opposite (do they have no respect on a Sunday) and now the helicopters have started

It's actually darker now than when I first woke up....looks like it will be raining soon

[saint]

I'm hoping the weather clears up a bit here for when the Olympic Torch passes through this afternoon!

[Snowangel-MK]

Perhaps we all need something to look forward to.....

...unless of course Christmas is cancelled as well as the summer

[chilly milly]

Morning all! Woke up to rain this morning. Reading back it sounds like an eventful night. No idea what it did through the night here, was dead to the world.

Torch is coming here at midday. Going to be an interesting half hour with the kiddies if it's raining.

Noooo dont mention Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!

[andreas]

Intense rain for the past fifteen minutes. Air starting to feel cooler. Temperature 14.1.

Could almost be a Christmas Day morning...

[suffolkboy_]

27mm of rain since midnight, and still coming down heavily. It's going to be one of those very wet days!

[Steve C]

We've had a fair amount of rain, since my 'non event' posting of the early hours. I'd estimate over 1/2 inch. Raining heavily currently.

Hoping for a bit of sunshine later, as I think I'd be in a favoured zone for t&l, if so.

[tinybill]

Did someone say Christmas?!

Mulled wine anyone?

Dull and drizzly here, the optimist in me is quietly hoping for a storm, but the realist in me has won the argument and is going back to bed

never know with our barmy weather we will be sunbathing on the beaches,!!!

[abruzzi spur]

Survived the squash. Rain even heavier. Need to take the dog out... whoopee!
