2mm in the hour to 22Z at Bournemouth, Nigel. 0.2mm in the following hour,
the same recorded at Portland.

Radar shows a lot of activity developing in the SE during the last hour,
however, on closer examination I think it must be anaprop.

Jon.

Yes, you're both right... spots of rain here from 2335Z (and the 'booming'
goes on). Last rumble was the loudest, now audible from indoors, about
30 seconds after the flash making the nearest part of the storm to the south
about 6 miles off .

I've just had a bright flash 6 miles to my (slightly West of) South
(thunder getting louder, 30 seconds delay). After a 15 minute dry
spell it's now intermittent light rain here.

Looks like this one may well skirt by to my South. The last biggish
one (last summer) skirted by from East to West, again over the Island.
Got me own little climate here, have I!
