Very light shower here around 4.30 pm. Not enough to be worthwhile
bringing the washing in or to stop me carrying on the outdoor DIY job I'm
doing. It fell from medium-level cloud of a rather dark and mottled
appearance
of the type that often precedes frontal thunderstorms. No mention of it
in R4
lunchtime forecasts, not that I take them too seriously. Anybody else get
any
rain? (Max here 21.9°C, rather early).

Heathrow and Gatwick both reported (non TAF-able) light rain :-
