The 17:00 rainfall radar
http://www.met-office.gov.uk/weather...dar/index.html showed some
bright echos moving across Penzance, but so far (at 17:35) only around
1.5mm of rain has fallen.

There was some heavy rain at around that time in St Ives too, but of
course I had no way of measuring totals. No thunder though.
