A couple of nice anvils visible from the south coast here in Sussex, look to
be probably south London area, anyone getting anything?

Yes! I was dozing on a lounger in the garden and was awoken by large drops
of rain falling on me. These only lasted a few minutes and they weren't
enough to wet the ground.

Whats left of them is decaying away quite rapidly now as of 17.20.

Oddly enough I was wondering about this around 17.00hrs. I was on the
London train from Norwich and, from around Stowmarket, I could see to
what I gauged was the SE, in the far distance, a large anvil cloud.
By the time we got to Colchester it was on the horizon and definitely
to my SE. It's not the one that affected you, however, from the radar
records it must have been from one of those in inland France/Belgium.
Quite a distance, but not that surprising: I have seen similar over
the Wash from here near Brentwood.

Interesting. Whether to forecast CB was agonised over a great length last
night due to marginal forecast profiles that needed several factors to come
into play, i.e. fairly high temperatures and some additional upper forcing
moving west from the near continent. Some localised convergence may have
also assisted things. In the end the decision was to go with some isolated
CB in the far south as can be seen on the 215 forecast chart issued at 0930Z
http://www.metbrief.com/Images/215chart.gif but the probability of any at
any one site was considered very low. Would be useful to know if any CB were
observed across Scotland too.

Only well developed cumulus seen from here.

Thanks, Alan. That was the thinking in the end, i.e. large Cu rather than CB
over Scotland.
