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????

Looking out from Selsey to the IoW at around midnight...
