Stopped raining here and the suns coming out. Already had 8.2mm from the heavy rain over the last hour or so. 17.4°C. 

[CheesepuffScott]

Heavy rain here for the past half hour, lightened down a bit now

[jtay]

Heavy squally rain from that first lot. Zero rumbles.

Could easily have been taken away today by the men in white coats,walking up and down mowing,soaked to the skin and laughing my head off,so nice for everything to be soaked by rain instead of ruddy sweat lol

[Mapantz]

Just heard a very distant rumble from those closest sferics.

Poor day to be honest.

[Dorsetbred]

Yep it's just here at the moment..some interesting sounds right now.Current strike activity is to our north.

[Frosty hollows]

I'm too far north unfortunately

[Mapantz]

It all fell apart when that line got here, as usual. 

[jtay]

A few rumbles to the South from over Ringwood way. It's very dark in that direction.

Sunny here now, with another line of less intense cells coming into view from the West.

Yep just a bit too far north for us to really appreciate it,.......again

[A.J]

no storms here, a tad too far north, but a solid 3 hours of moderate/heavy rain earlier which was much needed

[Mapantz]

I haven't had a storm hit since May 27th 2017. After a few good years, it has gone back to how it was  in the late 2000's. I think I went from 2005 to around 2011 without a direct hit from a thunderstorm.

[Dorsetbred]

It's the rainy season, some torrential rain at the mo.......oh so nice...

[matt111]

Incoming...

well maybe just missing actually. 

[Mapantz]

[lettice]

More than us, but it was torrential there for a while, I was recording almost 1.5mm a minute for a while.

[Frosty hollows]

4 days ago it was 31c. Today is a measly 13

[Mapantz]

I'm getting trolled now.

[matt111]

Sun back out now after very little rain from that shower, most of it passed to the north as it looked like it would. 

[wimblettben]

Just had a few rumbles here with some showers that have been going on since this morning.

[Tobertron]

Certainly some heavy showers around today. Had a couple of rumbles from the last one too, which was torrential, although fairly brief. 

[Dean E]

Just had around 30 minute downpour with some very heavy rain for a time. Total is around 23mm during that time. Had a couple of rumbles, but its been mostly about the rain!

Temp 14.7c

[lettice]

Went dry and sunny for a while over midday, but just having some very heavy showers passing through.
10.5mm so far today
