Apologies for the lack of forecast today!

Been rather busy this morning, glanced at the radar and uh-oh. Some of you may be experiencing temporary monsoon conditions. Some extreme rain out there.

Second cold front pepped up much more than I expected - and given the lack of ambers/reds from the met office caught them on the hop too.

Just the one Roll of thunder here in London please tell me there will be more?. Love a good storm.

OYBBK, I am engaged in a running battle (exaggeration, perhaps!) with a friend who says my claims of this being a rubbish summer (in East Surrey) are rubbish. I know there will be stats out at some point about hours of sunshine, average temps, rainfall, etc. but in the meantime, what's your opinion on this summer? Thank you :)

it's amazing how it turns from light rain to buckets of rain to torrential and back within 2 mins.
glad that I don't have to leave the house until later.

It's really windy here on the hampshire/Surrey border as well as the torrential rain. I'm just hoping we don't lose our electric!

Will we get a day without rain before the schools go back? I'm half way through a DIY project that needs it to stop raining.

Yes, windy here too - Surrey/Kent border.

bit tied up with floods at the moment - will come back to you all properly later. Highest 1 hr rainfall total I've recorded at home.

In North Hampshire early this morning I was woken by the wind, or rather the leaves in the wind which in autumn wouldn't be as full. Torrential rain but now bright sunshine and warmth.

Yep we finally have blue skies it's lovely! Although wellies still seem necessary.

hope your feet stayed dry kitten and everyone.
glorious sunshine now!

Flooding round here was rather spectacular. Not good for home owners though. To look outside now you wouldn't know what hit us a few hours ago!

Am i one of those? Sigh. Feels like it.
