... absolutely amazing: lots and lots of activity all around us - some
intense rainfall has been reported nearby, but here in Bracknell,
although it's been 'rumbling' off and on since 1430Z (now 1545Z), all
we've had is a little rain - dampened the ground for a short time, but
that's gone again, and the latest radar image seems to imply that the
'worst' has gone to the north of us.

How could we miss all those white pixels? In my view, when the Met
Office left the old building on London Road, they left behind some sort
of 'force-field' generator which has deflected any significant rain
away. Talk about Moses parting the Red Sea waters!


LOL

Don't worry Martin 'weather' seems to miss Exeter as well.
On several occasions I have driven back home from work in winter in
northwesterlies with 6/8 sc and 8 degrees and bone dry in Exeter to arrive at
home with 1cm fresh snow and 2 deg C.

Just keep thinking about 7th May 2000 now that was some storm in Bracknell :-)

I was watching the 2Km radar display all afternoon and it seemed like the
Farnborough cell decayed as it moved north but then explosive development
occurred just south of the Chilterns. I think you were unlucky.
