For the second day in a row the weather forecasts for the Hampshire

Don't know what part of Hampshire you're in but here just north of
Portsdown
Hill we had 30 mins of steady rain yesterday afternoon - around 3pm.
I'm told that Cosham, 4-5 miles away, missed it.

We've had a light shower this morning.


And here lies the problem with trying to give a county wide forecast -
variations can be large over very modest distances.
