.... just been up to the village and if it wasn't for the leaves
beginning to turn, the acorns dropping over the path and the crane
flies clinging to the side of the house - I'd say it was a
mid-summer's day! Warm & 'gentle' weather: perfect.

Just been out in the garden with the crossword. Still quite warm and
still, but the wind has changed to S/SW bringing high cloud.

.... a marked change about an hour ago here (~1330Z / 2.30 pm BST),
when Cu developed and became quite well developed vertically, though
it's now tended to merge into the high-base SC and some AC. Looks as
if we could squeeze some rain from them perhaps ... but as Jon might
point out ... " it's all in the TAF " :-)

But there was one thunderstorm not far away, Martin, between Portsmouth and
Midhurst, about 1630z.

This particular foreigner ventured to the far east this weekend...
Kent! While on a hike with a 20-strong walking group around
a depleted Bough Beech Reservoir (about 7 miles to the west
of Tonbridge), an ill-defined Cb cloud could be discerned right
infront of the lowering sun to the WSW, causing a thick orange
lining to the anvil. This would have been around 1800 local time.

Noticeable how parched that region looks, in contrast to the still
verdant fields here in the Romsey area of Hampshire. My lawn
needs another trim.

.... we're not doing too badly either, though the soil has dried out
rapidly since the ending of the July/early August 'wet' spell:
estimated 40% of the 'normal' rainfall since then .. and the ensembles
don't suggest much more to come this month.

For the 'growing seasons' of spring+summer (and including September so
far), the %age of LTA rainfall (using Hurn data) is around 85% of
1971-2000 values; nothing dramatic, though if you remove the
double-average PPN month of July, then that figure would drop of
course.
