Gee that was heavy rain

The rainstorm which hit Wanstead on Sunday night was a belter – although no trace of it was left by this morning.

As measured by Scott Whitehead, resident Wanstead weatherman who tweets as @wanstead_meteo the peak was 40mm/hour. Though not historically high – he says he’s seen twice that level in summer downpours – he did tweet that he couldn’t remember such noisy rain.
