    We got the storm about an hour before you before I told it to carry on up to you. :whistle: :heehee:

    The rain was extremely heavy for about half an hour and I shall need to get the pressure washer out to clear the patio. It got so heavy that muck in the gutters was shooting straight out as the torrential rain came down the roof and shot the muck all along the patio, but about 5ft from the building. :rolleyespink:

          We must have got off a bit light rain wise as we only had 2mm yesterday and 7 mm overnight.
          I heard some rain and it was heavy for a couple of minutes then kind of steady before I noticed that the stars were out.
          It's blue sky coming out now.

            Away in the Midlands at the the moment but my security camera pinged me yesterday afternoon triggered by the heavy rain. That's the first time it's done that so it must have been bad.

            We had a tiny bit of light rain in Milton Keyes not enough to warrant putting on a coat. It's cloudy 15c and dry.

                Our predicted thunder storms and heavy downpours for yesterday didn't materialize (as usual) ... we had soft gentle rain instead.

                    We didn't get any thunderstorms last night but it wasn't predicted, it's today but we won't get any.
                    Now it's sunny with some cloud and a moderate breeze from the south south west temp 15c feels like 17c

                          Heavy rain now.

                          Edit, lasted about 20 mins, stopping now but it was the most rain we have had for over 6 weeks.

                          Edit, its started again, pretty torrential now.

                            Wish we had heavy rain! It is still overcast here, 20c, 82% humidity but no rain in sight.
