Nearly half a month’s worth of rain fell in one hour near Sheffield on Sunday, and most of England was placed under a Met Office warning for either rain or thunderstorms until the end of the day. Between 6-7pm 35.6mm of rain fell in Woodhouse Mill. In June the UK averages 12 days of rain, totalling 77mm.Met Office forecaster Marco Petanga said: ‘Half a month’s of rain has fallen in one hour in one location, in quite a few spots we’re seeing 15-20mm, even 30mm in an hour.
‘There’s been quite a few storms embedded within that area of northern England, Northern Ireland and one or two in parts of Wales. ‘It’s pretty torrential, 25 to 35mm in an hour is certainly going to cause some flooding problems, and there’s still potentially bad conditions to come.’
