At about 5pm on Saturday 25th June 2016 the most intense rainfall I have ever seen took place at Otford. It lasted about half an hour with thunderstorms and intense hail. People were marooned inside stores in Riverside Retail Park while it lasted and when it finished some found they could not reach their cars.
