If you'd have watched BBC1 1330 weather
before Neighbours you'd have spotted it :-p

It seems the showers/rain are being prolonged, or even enhanced, due to
dynamic forcing aloft in the left exit region of the upper jet -

Something very difficult to pin down even at a short lead time.

All very well Joe, but not the case according to 7.00 pm forecast on News
24. Still forecasting a mainly sunny evening in the South East with no
mention of rain. It's now heavy rain here at 10.30pm and a major feature has
now appeared on the latest forecast chart. My post at 17.30 predicted the
rain moving SE just from the radar.I'm not having a go at forecasters per
say, I know how difficult it is. But telling us what the weather will be
after it's arrived isn't a forecast.
