Default London shower conveyour (and rain disruption)

Anyone else notice this - for the past couple of days there has been a
near constant narrow band supply of showers running from south-west to
north-east London. Either side of the band seems to have been mostly
dry. Is this a similar phenomenon to the Thames streamer? Rain
disruption is very rare in this area but this is the third time in the
week that I've had to cancel a replacement windscreen fitting. The guy
running the service said he has hardly worked in the past two weeks
because of constant rain disruption.

There was no play at The Oval yesterday, and a photograph showed
standing water on part of the outfield. So I assume that the ground was
right in the path of the conveyor.

Indeed, just 20 miles East it has been virtually dry and mainly sunny
here all day. In fact pleasantly warm with temperature almost making 17C

I noticed last week (when there was a lot of shower/thunderstorm
activity) that the showers seemed to be travelling in two SW-NE bands,
one from about the Bristol Channel to the north of East Anglia, and one
from around Southampton to London. As Milton Keynes was in between these
two bands, we hardly got any rain at all, and not a single rumble of
thunder has been heard all year.
