Let's hope it's the latter. I know you disagree, but NW'lies bring much
nicer conditions here in East Kent (especially when compared with this
interminable NE'ly).

Yes, there does seem to have been a predominance of winds from the NE over the
SE of England in the last 6 months - hence the cool, cloudy & mainly dry
conditions in the SE.

No hopes of any thundery activity either!
