With pressure up at around 1020 mb I am interested to know why this front is
so active - we have had some pretty heavy bursts in the last half hour.

A good question. It started raining here in Warlingham at 3 a.m. this
morning and for about 15 minutes it was bordering on heavy. I measured 6.0 mm
this morning. There was no temperature change and very little wind. The
weather is now dull and misty, temperature 10°C.

Its roughly ties in with an area of PVA moving NW across England and Wales,
which can be followed on these two NMM charts:-

Back in February we had another rainy high thanks to an upper cold pool,

Yes- so did we in Dorset at 1130 as I was up a ladder getting the ISS
sorted. I was very surprised in that at 0830 the local weather centre
was saying that the morning drizzle stuff was about to clear my area.
Did it heck for i got really soaked! My station is just about sorted-
the wind speed got to a dizzy 2 mph at one stage.
