18mm for the day so far and 106mm for the month.
"But who wants to be foretold the weather? It is bad enough when it comes, without our having the misery of knowing about it beforehand." — Jerome K. Jerome
21.2mm so far today giving 114.2mm for the month.
A little more light rain this afternoon gave the final 3 day total for this event here at Kew/Richmond as 80.8mm
Although well beaten by other UK locations this is an impressive total for an area not known for its high rainfall totals
I now have the daily rainfall figures from the Met Office UKCP09/CEDA Archive dtabases from 1891-2019 for this location and by my reckoning this is the equal 2nd highest 3 day total since the start of that data 129 years go
The highest figure for 3 days here was 13-15 June 1903 at 91.9mm and the 2nd highest equal was 30 July to 1 August 1917 at 80.6mm
Richmond, Surrey
I'd give this storm (IMBY) 4/10 for wind, 8/10 for rain and 9/10 for the way it developed and the synoptics that were well forecast several days in advance. But for the parts of France where it had an incredible impact 10/10 where it must have been hell for those affected. Well the storm that caused mayhem in France even if not quite the same perhaps as here.

80 mm total from this event in stevenage. pretty remarkable.
I assume from high rainfall totals based over a few days, a fair amount of water may find itself in reservoirs replenishing levels rather than running quickly into the seas.

The long dry Summer (at least it has been at my end of Kent) turned out to be a blessing in disguise by providing a buffer to this recent wet spell. Just hope we don't end up with a winter like the last one where once it rains it won't stop for weeks on end.

Now we all know Oxfordshire has been pretty miserable all summer, especially with all that rain what with the moom'pocalypse. So i guess the ground was already rather saturated 😂 Whereas for the bulk of the south it's been very dry down here so the rain was just absorbed.
85mm here which is one of the largest three day totals since I've kept records. Amazing after missing all of the recent rain others got locally in the form of showers. It's about 2-3 months rainfall for here.
