What About The T-Storms Mother Nature?

Wikipedia states the total volume of water on Earth is estimated at 333 million cubic miles and i think most of that has fallen on England over the past week because the rain started Wednesday and hasn't stopped ever since.
The MET Office figures show that my part of England has been the recipient of a months worth of rain in just one day which explains why the Environment Agency has been handing out flood alerts like sweeties in the South East, 39 at the last count The rain has not been of the drizzle or light rain type, it has been hammering down consistently like in a Japanese Horror Film although annoyingly it hasn't been accompanied with the thunder storms as promised, just the drumming sound of heavy drops drumming out a tattoo on the car roof and window panes which to be fair i quite like, especially as a background white noise at night.
As usual the Jet Stream is to blame with the core of strong winds around five to seven miles above the Earth’s surface stubbornly refusing to shift above the UK and keeping us on the low pressure and wet Northern side rather than the high pressure dry and sunny Southern side.
The Jetstream Forecast map shows the jet stream fairly well over us or just to the south up until Tuesday so its wellies and umbrellas for the next few days at least while the Atlantic continues to fling more rain at us but as a very paled skinned English woman, i am in no rush for Summer
to start again as i have already been applying the after-sun and flailing my arms around at stingy flying insects after the brief sunny spell last week although if Mother Nature can throw in a couple of decent Thunderstorms to go with the rain, it would be appreciated.
