Not a drop here and looks like it has passed by now

 

[Sussex Martin]

One coming along the Northdowns in Mid Kent at moment 4am plenty of rain with it.

Not so sure we got much of the rain Martin, woke just after 4am to the thunder and lightning but was back to sleep before too long. We seem to have had very little rain this side of the valley.

28mm since 7am !

I'm guessing my oats are flat now

 

[Clive]

32mm now sorry - the last minute was impressive !

 

[SilliamWhale]

Nothing down here. Possibly due at 9 am

 

[exmoor dave]

Bit of lightning in the distance middle of the night but no rain in this part of west somerset

 

[Jerry]

We have missed it totally. Did not even hear any thunder in the distance.

I was watching the storm approach over london at work last night, amazing lightning show, I even managed to stay dry!!! That is until I got 5 minutes from home and the Heavens opened at 0240 this morning, just about stopped raining now though.

Nearly 40mm here.... So far

 

[crazy_bull]

Kept us awake last night - amazing lightning and really loud, has passed through now and looks reasonably bright. Think the grass has grown already! Only downside was a powercut for 4 hrs, and have some incubating eggs only on day 3

The eggs will be fine and yes agree the grass grew over night!!

 

[Clive]

And still coming heavy ( image is upside down no matter what I do with it !! V odd !)

 

[Andy26]

35mm here between midnight and 9am.

 

[jimmer]

2.45 first clap, 3.00 light shower followed by mad naked dash to shut windows on truck, 3.54 another light shower ,no bloody sleep again , dust coming off telehandler tyres around the yard

 

[Clive]

Been for a quick look around - oats are going down, maybe about 20% lodged but more heavy lean than flat so far thankfully

Got none myself but can't see near fit barley making it through that lot without going very flat

 

[d williams]

28mm since 7am !

I'm guessing my oats are flat now

That's. my fear spring oats at 4.5 to 5 ft at the minute ripening fast

 

[Wombat]

Nothing here really yet, bit of lightening last night and a bit of damp to hold the dust down but that's it so far

 

[KMA]

we got a fair old storm this morning possibly 2 or 3 cells close together, very heavy rain at times and lost power for a couple of hours.

Can't believe that after all the dry weather we've had and the storms been well forecast for at least 2 days there's still hay bales sitting out, still not ours and anyway I'm supposed to be retired to village life

 

[Wombat]

2mm so far today and clearing up again. Not in major need of any but freshened some stuff up

 

[John 1594]

serious storms here in the early hours, been round today just looking at crops, one field of spring barley on the silt land looks like someone has took a set of rolls over it, flat to the deck in big swathes arcoss the field.
