Fax Chart showing an unsettled eastern side of the UK Today. That big dosy SW high will be heading our way over the coming days

[Captain Shortwave]

Hazy sunshine here yep that light rain was the main event, I mean non-event

Would expect heaviest rain eventually to migrate south and east of the river, as the shallow low starts to transfer towards the Belgian/French border,

The ppn animation is backing up what you're saying, Tom. Plus I can confirm it has just started raining here again now.

 

Thought I heard a rumble of thunder a few minutes ago. The problem is I keep forgetting we are now slap bang under the flight path of EasyJet descending from the south, now that they're flying into Southend Airport!

Had some heavy rain here in the last couple of hours but looks to be clearing slowly. More noteworthy is the cool temp...currently 18C, brr!

[Snowangel-MK]

Please carry on with all your weather related musings and banter here

 

 

 

Thanks aj - been a bit tied up here this morning (not literally) 

 

 

Still spots of rain here, although there are hints of the sun trying to break through, interested in the rain that seems to be expanding over Milton Keynes

 

I hadn't noticed..... it certainly seems a bit brighter than when I last looked out

Sun briefly out here as low cloud lifting from time to time, albeit very briefly at moment! Temp 18.1c. Surpressed compared to recent warm days.

[Froze were the Days]

Extremely heavy rain here at times - torrential at about midday. had the lights on too!

[80sWeather]

Heavy rain now at the Fulham v Arsenal game.

[Reefseeker]

Love that walk. Used to do it a lot when a friend of mine lived in Kingston. But, yep, looking at the radar animation I reckon it could get a bit soggy this afternoon!

Already has! Even lost Mr Stelling for a while after heavy rain stopped the satellite signal. Will do the 'park the car and do a shorter walk' option instead:)

Umpteenth round of torrential rain here in Thundersley south Essex again!

[DannyH]

Umpteenth round of torrential rain here in Thundersley south Essex again!

And looking darker again! - Up to 26mm since midnight in Rayleigh now

[Mark Neal.]

Essex & East London must be getting hammered right now with rain, radar looks ominous! 

[Mark Neal.]

Here is the latest radar grab showing the heavy rain over Essex & London area. Seems to be breaking up into East Anglia & Herts slightly. 

[RUSH]

afterrnooon all

 

 

on and off heavy rain in kt3 .shannon corner round about the drains have failed already .big pundles.

[Steve C]

Heavy rain started here 10 minutes ago, although we've had nowhere near the rainfall of south Essex. I can see that some main roads are now closed there due to flooding.

[Froze were the Days]

18.5mm of rain today - steady rain at the moment.

[Keraunic]

Getting very gloomy in Ippy with drizzle. Aww....come on, thunder...where are you?

[stainesbloke]

Wow...monsoon here! Gone quite dark too.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Very dark here some new developments too..

 

The areas in the red lines I think are going to see the heviest rain as the low slides south

 

 

[Froze were the Days]

Continuous heavy rain here still - must be one of the wettest days here in the last decade!

[lottiekent]

Mostly light rain here so far, be interesting if the heavier stuff to the north comes my way

Currently 18.4c

[DannyH]

Well, woke up seeing 3mm on the weather station thinking "damp squib" - 10 hours later and it's now showing 31.5mm with more heavy rain pouring. Southend Vic - Liv St line is flooded at Prittlewell, A127 is closed near Basildon and Greensward Lane bridge at Hockley under water.... Biggest rain event here for a long time.

[Anvils in the Sky]

The two chaps building a new porch on the house opposite me have finally allowed the rain to make them call it a day!

Here, on the other hand, are a couple of chaps who aren't letting the rain bother them. (Sorry for the poor quality. Zoom not the best on the camera.)

[StLuke]

Biblical amounts of rain here in Southend today, rail and road suffering badly with flooding, this is turning into quite a rare event!!

[Floatylight]

Well defo not flip flop weather!
