"Heavy" Rain in England

As always, there has been rainy weather in England in the last week.
Last Thursday/Friday there was rain off and on here in the Yeovil area, but at Bristol (an hour's north of here and where we go to church), there was rain and some snow. Because of the saturated ground, the rain last Friday caused there to be some street flooding in low places and lots of water standing in fields. We took these pictures of fields on Saturday.







Yesterday was mostly sunny, but I heard a weather forecaster last night saying that there was "very heavy rain driving its way toward southwest England" and that we could expect more flooding problems because of the possibility of getting "up to one inch of rain"! Does that sound like "very heavy" rainfall in Texas???
This morning there is very strong wind and what we would call "sprinkles".

It looks cold! It reminds me of that day during Thanksgiving when we went to church and were all crowded into that "porch" area with our coats and umbrellas for the walk back to the car.

We look forward to one inch of rain!

I dare you to say it that way!
