Rather unusually, we had a completely dry thunderstorm here from 1515
BST to about 1540 BST. Lots of loud thunder and C-C lightning, some
directly overhead, but no rain. All the activity seemed to be in
middle-level cloud.

Rainfall total since 0900z yesterday now stands at an unimpressive
13.2mm.

We had a thunderstorm at the same same time producing 4.6mm of rain of which
3.6mm fell between 1500 to 1515 - it was very inense for 3 or four minutes.
It must have been heading in your direction as it came in from the east.
