Woken up from a crummy dream about staying in a run-down hotel in America - I guess I shouldn't have watched that "We stayed in the worst hotels in Texas" video yesterday evening, but I was curious!
And I was woken up by sheet lightning and thunder... and then the plonk... plonk... plonkplonkplonk of some very large raindrops. It's now chucking it down, thunder is rolling all around and yes, there's frequent lightning. Checking the gauge shows a rate of 56mm/hour, peaking at 103.8mm/hour just after I got up. And yes, it's all rain... torrential rain. 10.8mm so far, 0.8mm and counting as I'm writing this post!
18.8, dew 17.5, the overnight low so far being 18.1 yesterday evening. The high yesterday was 22.3, so this goes down as that most unusual of events: storms without suffering the heat! But that's to come, of course...
EDIT: Up to 14.9mm already!
