    It’s back here again in Farningham. Hens not best pleased.
    Yeah.......storm no 2 in swanley. Very very very heavy rain. I'd say worse that at Yeovil to give it context. 
    Spent a couple of hours diverting rising water from our neighbour’s farm. They live opposite us (and we’re slightly higher). All  the water the runs off the fields into the lane and goes into theirs. The lane was flooded but people were still driving fast sending waves towards the farmhouse. In the end I stood in the middle of the road waving people to slow down which they all did (except one)  some offering to help. There used to be ditches each side of the road to help drain the water away but they get blocked up  despite us shovelling the silt out. Apparently the council are coming to look at the drains in August!

    Lots of fire brigade In Orpington this evening. Seems like Swanley got it worse after chatting with a lovely fire woman.

    What size are the golf balls in Sidcup?

    Do they still fit in the holes?

    Was she a witch or something? Some sort of spell?

    The only rain worse than Yeovil featured Noah and his boat.

    Had very little rain in my part of Maidstone today, had been hoping I wouldn't have to water my pots this evening.

    Not much in Swanley this afternoon. A few spits & spots and then drizzle. 

    Very poor show.

    Very noisy and wet in Plumstead earlier. Glad I decided to do housework instead of my planned cycle.

    Maybe stop cracking off for a few days and you’ll be back to normal.

    No, we've become a nation of ninnies. Sometimes it's hot, then we have a storm. It's always happened.

    There are extremes happening all over the world. Recent floods in Europe, India & China. Record high temperatures in USA & Canada. This is down to human action.

    8 TFL stations closed due to flooding, cars floating on the north circular, and still coming down heavy in SE London.

    A thunderstorm in Plumstead, probably isn't the strongest evidence of a fucked planet. Disappearing Arctic sea icemetling glaciersforest fires in Siberia and the biggie: 37,000 species currently being threatened by extinction probably are though.

    Totally in agreement. Humans are wrecking the planet.

    But people today seem to dramatise every event; yet we've always had thunderstorms - and that's what I believe @Baldybonce meant.

    Partly down to human action, and partly natural cycle. We can impact the former.

    P.S. Warm sunny day up t’north today.

    Been bloomin’ lovely in my corner of North Yorkshire today. 22 degrees with the most pleasant of breezes. Spent the evening in the garden sipping mojitos whilst having a barbecue. Lovely times.

    Talking to my parents tonight, in Dartford today there was little rain, so the storms were very localised
