Yes, including this area. After the start of last month I hope there is no repeat.  Up to 120 mm of rain has been forecast over high ground.

Well, its very much been a garden storm IMBY with a tree felled in my back garden by the winds. And to make matters worse the fallen tree  has almost destroyed my Davis VP2. I will have to check and see whether it has any life in it tomorrow. Before operation firewood begins.

Yes, but you will forgive those of us to the North and West for wondering what the fuss is about having had several similar storms already this year alone.

And here north of the channel the rain continues. This is shaping up to be a Harvey rather than an Irma for the UK.

Thanks for posting that. It gave me a good laugh too. 

Just gone past the 22 mm mark since 12 am IMBY. Thankfully the wind never amounted to anything and even the rain is welcome but what with 20 mm yesterday it is shaping up to be a particularly soggy start to this October.  

The southern 3rd of the UK is not really used to these types of 'storms', so you'll have to forgive them! Still, at least they are getting something of interest from the skies at the mo. 

28.8mm today so far. Looks like I will exceed 30mm before midnight. That doesn't happen very often here in a 24 hour period.

Here are the wettest days I have recorded in Chineham since moving here in late 2005.

11 days over 30mm in 15 years. 5 of those have happened in the past 2 years though.

60mph and a tree down here says I have to disagree.  Calmer now but the rain is incessant.

35mm of rain yesterday down here to the south of the county. It doesn't happen often but at least once a year. Strange the north of the county doesn't get that much.

Liss was the wettest but for some reason it didn't end up on the end of day extremes.

Not sure that gusts have quite reached the 115 mph mark, have they?

I think he has mixed up mph with kph. 

Regardless of the what the IMBY crew has to say. This has been an unusual and interesting weather event!

Welcome to the world of 'outside the South East'

Gusts did reach 115mph in north-west France yesterday. Highest UK gust was 71mph.

Not strange at all. Average rainfall near the south coast is much higher than in the north of the county. So you would expect a greater number of days with high rainfall totals.

I am looking at a first today. Two consecutive days with more than 30mm. Never recorded that before. Yesterday finished at 31.6mm. Already at 22mm today.

Thank you. Brittany got a higher gust than has hit anywhere in the British isles in several years. From this storm.

And still it rains. The most relentless rain I can remember for a long time. 

We’ve not had the totals that parts of the far south have seen so far, with only about 8mm, but large totals are due in the next 24 hours, with strengthening winds. Easterly garbage at its worst.

Rare for London to be up in the leaderboard in a frontal rather than thunderstorm event.
