It's doing that here today too, but then it would. It's a Bank Holiday! Glad you made it home. I know that sensation of the wipers not being able to clear the screen quick enough in a deluge. Quite unnerving.
@kjarn It was quite scary at times, especially when idiots were speeding and overtaking us in these conditions.
Sunny today and I even got the washing dry
We have had no significant rain since October. Everything here is so bone dry and brown.

We heard on the news last night that Newcastle had 110 mm rain and when we got home our rain gauge only said 7 mm so we got off quite lightly here.
In case you are wondering what is in this picture, the red blob on the left is a Shell petrol station and the yellow structure is a coal loader.
@ludwigsdiana I am willing to share, I have had enough of rain now.
@ollyfran I remember it always rained on Bank Holiday in the UK.
@happypat I bet they were pleased you took your good old Lancashire rain with you.
It can be very draining on the nerves driving in these conditions I think.
Glad you’re home safe and dry.
