A quasi-stationary multicell thunderstorm affected parts of mid-Suffolk on Sunday 25 July 2021. The epicentre was the village of Brettenham, where extreme rainfall resulted in over 180mm falling in under 2 h. Local flooding occurred, including significant crop damage. The amount of rain observed in such a short duration challenges UK rainfall records.
