An intense line of convection to the SW of London, moving towards the capital now 

We ended up with a whole five minutes of heavy rain out of that lot, which broke up more or less as it arrived.

 Amber warning. Just looked at lightning maps the only one I trust for real time strikes. Its drier that the Sahara. Take a look for entertainment value. The excitement with sn amber warning for storms. Always a Kent clipper. Washed out to sea. Now my eyes head north looking for an outbreak of cold weather and possibly to the east of snow.

Most if not all the lightning activity stayed away from us yesterday.. Not really surprised when I saw the track of those storms over France I thought that is going to be a bit tricky to land them even as a Kent clipper. But the Heavy rain certainly did make it.

Around 8pm last night we also caught that heavy stuff that moved up through West London.. torrential rain for a good half an hour.. 

River levels around my way are slowly creeping up now...

Yesterday's rainfall totals nowhere near as much as forecasts had suggested. Definitely a bust for most of the Region. Here's the Netweather Extra 24 hour rainfall totals up to midnight, calculated using 1km radar data:

St Neots in the driest zone in the south east lot as per usual - always manage to deflect the heaviest stuff somehow!

Estofex were the most accurate again yesterday, they really do seem to be the go to guys for me for realistic storm forecasts/probabilities.

Ok weather forecasting is far from easy but why was the warning so far wrong. Was anybody affected by the warning?

Bit of a case of crying wolf unfortunately. As I was off to a talk yesterday evening I had actually got torches ready at home in case electricity got cut off because of lightening and warned a few people.

Talk was informative but gruesome as it was on what to do if you turn up just after a traffic accident where there are traumatic injuries.

Really enjoying all this heavy rain, its very autumnal, and useful, going forward. Though the complete absence of thunder/lightning in this long unsettled period is surprising. 

Great weather for digging over the allotment later for winter planting. 

14c and rain in SW London just now.

Bubs enjoyed her camp. Nice big fire and marshmallows. Not all the girls went, some were put of by the drizzle. But anyway, the rain did get heavier towards the end of the evening, but the woods sheltered them all. 

Took delivery of winter cold stuffs yesterday. I feel the cold and have been sweating on the walk to school, but i'm sure they will keep till we get any cold.

Drizzle today. Bubs off to a sports festival and we have parents evening.

My rainwater gauge has reached 15 millimetre point since I first placed in my garden last Friday.  The temperature at 2:47pm is 15.3ºC , the humidity is at 71% and the barometric pressure is at 1002.4 and it is rising.

An acquaintance of mine, told me that she saw lightning last week, when I saw nothing.  She only lives a quarter a mile away from me.

Same as that mate, loving it at the moment. Cant bear it if it's just cloud or drizzle but heavy rain- bring it on! Active weather of any kind is enjoyable for me.

Agree. Personally it’s much more fun watching the radar than being constantly dry and cloudy, I can understand why people don’t like it but autumn is what deep lows wind and rain is all about as well as early cold shots and the odd misty calm days thrown in.

To quote a Supertramp song 'It's raining again'...why shouldn't I be surprised.

Nice cool morning and clear. Garden said it was barely above 1c but alexa knows best and said it was 5c.

Didn't feel overly cold, a little chilly, but I'm quite surprised how warm I am feeling doing the walk to school at the moment.

Tried out thermal T-shirt and thin jumper. The Bizz my friends. 

P.S. I saw some anvils last night which looked like a dying storm. Very pretty. No pic cos airhead.

Great satellite image of the swirling low off the NW of the UK with its associated showers. And you can see the blob of cloud (with rain) already into the south of the Region and which will spoil the current sunshine here too.
