According to the Met Office that is. Might be some thunderstorms mixed in as well. The grass in the fields around us is virtually yellow. Can’t remember the last time it rained.
Some areas may get half a months rainfall in a few hours.
Just walked dog in Billingham as rain almost stopped.
Rain started getting heavier again just as we turned back into our street.
Heard a bit of thunder 90minutes ago but nothing spectacular to report so far.......
Had to drive to Newcastle Airport through the worst of it last night. Bit scary hitting standing water on the motorway at 60. Slowed down to 50 as did most people. Had eased off on the way back and was able to do 70 the standing water had gone. Forecast of a chance of a thunderstorm this arvo. I love a good thunderstorm.
