Lashing it down here. Just tipped over 20mm for the day

---

Rainfall today now 50mm.

To put it a other way, 1/24th of all this year’s rainfall has come today. A measure of how dry 2020 has been.

---

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.

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.  

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.

Loving the imbyism in here. 115mph gusts for heavens sake. That’s getting close to what we got in England in 1987.

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

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.

If forecasts are correct it does look like it will have been very wet indeed by the end of tomorrow morning in places, up to 120mm on high ground, according to the Met Office.

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.

---

Yesterday we were between the heaviest bands for a lot of the time but since late last night it has been very wet. Now up to 57mm for the month with 22mm since midnight.

---

Highest 24hr totals up to 7am per weatheronline are Liscombe 64mm, Rothamsted park 61mm, St James’s park 48mm.

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

20mm yesterday and 18mm so far today from storm Alex here at stevenage.

Currently awaiting the next deluge. Storm total 31mm so far here (average for the whole month is ~50mm)

Yesterday we seemed to be between the rain bands for most of the day, and had only recorded 4.8mm by 3.15pm.

However since then I've recorded another 37.5mm, in 18 hours. Yesterday was 16.2mm and today 26.1mm so far. It's one tip (0.3mm) off equalling the wettest day of 2020, and 38.4 is my daily record (10/06/2019), which could well be surpassed.

36.0mm so far today since midnight and still pouring

This comes on top of the 31.6mm yesterday.

So 67.6mm in less than 36 hours.

Finally over. Horrendous. Garage flooded again, also have a roof leak too leaving large patch in the ceiling
