[CheesepuffScott]

[MP-R]

Just drizzly rain so far. Occasional sun too.

[matt111]

Windy and cloudy with lots of showers although the sun has made the odd brief appearance. 17.9°C

Do they know something we don’t?  

[Tobertron]

Wow absolutely crazy rain! Some of the heaviest I've ever seen. Was under dark purple on the radar for a little while and it certainly felt like it. Really gusty winds as the rain started and one rumble of thunder nearby too! 

[mike5900]

A few lightning to my east. 

[Mapantz]

Everything avoiding here as usual lol

[Tobertron]

It's off again! No thunder this time though. Absolutely torrential rain again though. 

[Andy Bown]

Can’t post pictures for some reason but have a great view of CBs to the South while it’s sunny here. 

[matt111]

Just cloudy and windy here at the moment, no showers at all over the last hour or so. 

[jtay]

The heavy rain is now coming down sideways, just to make today even more vile.

[Wilxy]

Edit: Its finally raining here!

In Swanage just had an Ice Cream and now the sun is out and lots of blue around feels nice and pleasant out there. Had a few showers around earlier but seem to have missed the worst and it's clearing up now.

I've just had a direct hit from one of them thar torrential showers, it reached 100 mm/hour for a while and I did feel sorry for the two collar necked doves having a mating dance on my front lawn. They just froze and are still sitting there in it 9 millimetres of rain later,  as if all their passion has been washed away, poor things lol.

13 mm so far today, max 20.1, current 17.9.

[Mapantz]

Apart from some rain this morning, anything remotely interesting has completely missed here.

I think we're going to head South in a bit to try and find some sunny spells and some tea.

Sun has just come out properly for the first time all day now. 18.3°C

[Dean E]

Has been a rather disappointing day. Haven't seen much storm action, but again wasn't expecting much! 

We've had mostly drizzle showers, with the odd heavier burst on and off today, but only 1.7mm of rain has fallen!

Currently Partly Sunny and 19.4°C, the highest so far today.

A split day between gardening and swimming lol,kept going but thank goodness for efficient waterproofs,had numerous bouts of heavy rain,but on the basis my gardens really needed it,i was one of the few folk actually smiling as the heavens opened today

[CheesepuffScott]

Warmest it has been all day here too, still mostly cloudy however there's a few sunny spells coming and going. Currently 19.3°C

[EllyTech]

Pulses of very heavy rain. No thunder or lightning. Very little wind right now. It was quite gusty this morning for a time. My area lingered within the central area of the circulation/ low for quite some time this afternoon - its around the Birmingham area now. Expecting frequent bursts of heavy rain here.

[Wiltshireweatherwatcher]

After seeing the CAPE charts last night, I didn’t have much expectation for today, but even so very little thundery activity for our region with the action up in the North West. After all the rain they had over the weekend not the place that needed to see more rain.

[CheesepuffScott]

Another sharp shower.. temperature peaked at 19.5°C at: 17:28

Currently 18.2°C
