... further west of you, we've only had a light 'sprinkling' of rain
~1930-1945Z ; just enough to show on the flags, but evaporating quickly.
Sky has some 'lumpy' elements, mainly floccus, underneath thinning (at
present) Cs deck. No doubt some more action later, though we may be away
from the focus of the heaviest & potentially persistent rain event.

Nothing at all in Bournemouth (I was in the Charminster/Lansdowne area
tonight). The sky did go very dark to the SW when I was waiting for a bus
at 2000Z - enough so to make me concerned about my lack of a raincoat!

That was part of a lump of rain that passed to the east of us judging from
the NW radar. Never rained in Springbourne (just by Kings Park) either.

I was in Colehill (about 4 miles from Martin) at my parents today and I was
surprised we got no rain despite some showing up on radar - presumeably it
was evaporarating before reaching ground.

Some pretty heavy showers appearing over central/north Hampshire, and a
bigger lump of rain about 1-2 hours travelling time from the Dorset coast
(including Bournemouth).
Looks very nasty in Worcestershire right now - is New Road set to be flooded
again?
