Peter,

Same here in Guildford. A 90min period of -RA and RA amounting to 2.5mm. No
thunder.
The bulk went to the SE earlier in the day and the NW later.

Bizarre! I drove up from Dorset this morning to Wadhurst for a late
lunch. As I drove back I thought it seemed to be getting mighty dark
ahead of me. I was on the dreaded M25 and with warnings of queues
ahead decided to come off and head down the A3 to Guildford! It was at
about 1700 IIRC and boy,did the heavens open for about 10 minutes-
everything slowed to an absolute crawl. By the time I got to a snarl
up presumably close to Guildford (I was going across to Aldershot
Garrison) the rain stopped quite quickly. The run back from Aldershot
was good - left at 2122 and arrived west of Dorchester at 2306. I have
yet to check the AWS at work to see if Dorset had anything...
Cheers Robin
