About 12mm 🌧️ so far this weekend. Mostly steady and unassuming. No thundery activity at all. Quite different to what I expected a few days ago. 

As I write, there are some lightning strikes currently showing up in the North Sea just off the Aberdeenshire coast but that’s all I can see as far as the whole of the UK is concerned.

As far as official yellow warnings for thunderstorms are concerned though, there are three separate warnings in force for today. One warning covers Wales and SW England with another one covering the west of Northern Ireland. In addition to that, there is also a third warning covering the south and west of Scotland which both Edinburgh and the Borders are under.

As far as tomorrow is concerned, there is another warning in force which covers roughly the same parts of Scotland along with NE Wales and most of England.

As a result, this thread is now probably likely to extend into tomorrow’s events and not just cover this weekend’s events as the title of this thread would suggest.

Weak thunderstorms and one lightning here earlier on, i am sure it would be stronger if we had many hours of sunshine to generate 90's storms type.

A couple more showers today has pushed the total up to 15mm for this thundery spell with perhaps some more overnight. It might not sound much to many but it is the most here in 24 hours for several weeks. It is most welcome because it has had a chance to soak in without a heatwave the next day to evaporate it all so whilst not really deep enough into the ground it has helped smaller plants.

At last! Big storm over south Notts. Torrential, cloud to cloud and to ground

Does that mean your weekend isn’t ruined anymore (as you mentioned in the CC thread)?😂

I suppose I can cope 😂

We've had about 12mm accumulated precip here over the weekend. Plenty of puddles out on the dog walks, however when gardening earlier bone dry earth was encountered at approx 30mm depth.

It looks like the thundery weekend might extend into Monday - Fingers crossed for something of interest. 

Up to 15mm now weekend total but I see that I am missing another big S-N streamer of heavy rain by about being 5 miles West. Looks right on line for Sheppey so see what Retron got in the morning. There is a lot coming up from France throughout the night and into the morning by the looks of it so still hopes of doubling that figure which would do wonders for the garden and allotment.

When you see these popping up and 15 minutes later a downpour breaks out a few miles to the north..

My rain gauge ended up getting blocked yesterday, which was annoying - when I unblocked it (ejecting a spider in the process) the trapped rain went through at quite a rate! (The total matched the chap over the road's total, which is good).

The rain in the middle of the night you mentioned was insignificant here, the other end of Sheppey got a mm or two but nothing registered here. OTOH there has been some decent rain this morning, with a peak rate of 31mm/hour at 5:20 AM - it was loud! 

There's been 12.8mm here today, 16.6mm in the last 24 hours. And the monthly total is now 52.6mm, which means it's now a wet month! Will wonders never cease...

Another 42mm at the vineyard this morning, which is the third big fall of the month and takes me to an incredible 155mm. Almost doubling the YTD total, and the wettest month for quite some time.

That portion of the North Downs between Canterbury and Folkestone has had a drenching. The countryside is green. Yet to East and West it remains pretty dry looking.

Yes - it's amazing how localised these falls have been. In that downpour at 6.00 am I got another 9.3mm in a standard funnel rain gauge which I also used as calibrating my AWS which was pretty close at 9.0mm considering some must have bounced out and it only does 0.3mm tips. Most of that rain still went East of me up into Suffolk so I suppose I was lucky  to get that as London missed it to my West. So 24mm from this spell now which is pretty good considering how much by passed me. 33.6mm for the month making it a wet month by recent standards!

These showers forming are hardly moving at all, could be some enormous totals in places.  Dry here but heavy showers in most directions, but hard to work out if anything is moving . 

Thundery shower here, giving us the first rumbles of thunder this year!

The thundery stuff has got going according to the radar in a significant part of England. Slow moving too.

The weather warning for me slipped away a few hours ago with nothing to show for it.

Looks like parts of Kent, especially Canterbury area, are getting absolutely plastered again.

The central southern England force field still in effect

no chance of anything apart from useless warnings again

A good 20 minutes here of frequent rumbles from a cell slowly moving to the east of me. The odd louder crack of thunder too. Other cells seem to be developing too around me.

Several places at 90-130 mm in that area up to 9am this morning according to 'roost weather'.

We've had 4mm today and about 25mm this month 😂

Yes, up here to the north there's been several deep rumbles in the distance - and at one point, big "splodge" type raindrops falling from a blue sky! There must have been one heck of a downdraft in that particular cell, 8 miles away...

Went to Lincoln for a 3.10pm appointment and by 3.30pm there was a monster of a downpour in progress. Some extraordinary lightning flashes and thunderclaps. A lot of surface water. We took an alternative higher route home to avoid sections that often flood. Still in progress and we expect more here.

Funnily enough the usual "it's called summer" type commenters on the local rag's website (when a warning was issued) haven't popped up on the inevitable follow-up article about localised flooding!

Listening to the 8am forecast I thought all the talk of flash flooding was way OTT but I was wrong.

Just heard a very distant rumble of thunder here in Hawick with that storm currently being situated just to our north.
