Not too bad in Ipswich, wouldn't say torrential rain but it is steady.

Bristol has been fairly relentless for a few days now. Surprised it's still going today. I wouldn't have thought there's be anything left in the sky by now.

It's been persistent here the past couple of days, no torrential down pours. It just rains at varying levels of intensity.
Usual local roads/areas 'flooding' but nothing really that impassable, or a short detour won't solve. It's the only time that Chelsea Tractors are used for something they were designed for . . . .

Got very wet in Shropshire over the weekend and it poured down all night. The guttering on next door's house was gurgling away keeping me awake for ages!

Came down the M40 this afternoon on our way home and the usual bits of Oxfordshire were flooded. Some fields beside my old commute to Cowley just outside Oxford itself seem to resemble swimming pools when you get light rain so the lakes we could see today suggested it had been rather persistent for a while.

The river I live by (the Ver) dried up completely last year. This year, it's a completely different matter, take a look at the graphs on this page here:

I'm guessing it's largely because of the wet winter, but maybe also because London's water consumption will be down due to lock-down.
