27.4mm is the new total. Close to 20mm fell from that event.

A heavy albeit brief downpour this morning and total is now 29.2mm.

Just 0.3mm from the cold front last night: Total at 14.9mm so far which is 51% of the local average at this stage of the month.

Edit: Another weak front, another 0.3mm! Total now at 15.2mm - The slugs 'n' snails will appreciate the damp surface conditions atm.

The dribs and drabs continue: 0.2mm to add from the 15th. Total now at 15.4mm. Wednesday could prove interesting for many - from a convective precip. point of view .. 

After this evening's storm, July is now the wettest month of 2017 here, beating the previous wettest month - a tie between January and July, both on 68.4mm.

So this month so far has had:

01/07 0.3mm
02/07 0.9mm
11/07 23.1mm
12/07 8.7mm
15/07 0.6mm
18/07 37.8mm

TOTAL 71.4mm

The totals on 11th and 12th actually all happened within 24 hours (my totals are midnight-midnight). So it's interesting that all but 1.8mm of this month's rain has come in two very wet (30mm+) 24 hour periods! Very tropical. 

Heavenly  rain in the storm now proceeding over a millimeter already. 

Meanwhile, down on the Lizard

the latter with lots of blog reports. Haven't found a rainfall total yet, but one report says that  mile or so away it wasn't raining - so a total will presumabaly depend on a local enthusiast.

Meanwhile, back in the SE, Reading had the highest official total yeaterday at 42 mm

Meanwhile, back in the SE, Reading had the highest official total yeaterday at 42 mm

I recorded 37.8mm before midnight and another 3.3mm in the storm between 2.00am-3.30am, so a total of 41.1mm for me.

Other WUnderground sites recorded more than the official reading. Maiden Erlegh School in Earley (SE Reading) recorded 54.6mm in total. Another station i saw up in Marlow Bottom recorded 60.6mm. That's a staggering amount of rain.

   6.9mm   This morning.

 28.8mm   This Month

  8.0mm in Manual Gauge  1

70.0mm in Manual Gauge  2 Due to overflow from new shed's roof.   

Just 3.7mm to add from the 16th. Total at just 19.1mm. It remains to be seen if we catch any convective weather here today - you'd think with the current warmth and humidity, winds in an easterly quarter, pressure low at 1002mb and falling, a cold front approaching from the west ... it would be a no brainer 

 7.2mm  Yesterday

 8.1mm  Today

37.2mm  This Month. 

The transition from the warm, humid continental flow to a much fresher Atlantic maritime flow, via a cold-frontal trough, produced just 3mm here  As I keep mentioning - the lawns are loving these occasional sprinkles! Now, surely Friday's system can finally produce a decent drink for the garden? 

Total now at 22.1mm.
