However... the cluster of thundery precip has been shifting ENE along
the South Coast for the last 3 hours... and now, radar shows that
activity has reached the West of the IoW with a shower over the North
of Southampton.

As I write, bright sheet lighning is visible to my SW at intervals of
20 to 30 seconds and distant thunder is now faintly audible.

Temperature 20, light winds from I know not which direction after a
long period of calm this evening.

These storms often seem to jump over the immediate Solent area and
relocate over and to the North of the South Downs - I wonder if I'm
going to catch one at last?

00:15 BST - there's been light to moderate rain here for the last 5
minutes. Lightning seems to have got no closer though, still to my SW
and thunder not audible at present.

Will it... or won't it????
