Steve,
Can't say since I was in Exeter - but Birmingham was 4C with
8.4mm of rain this afternoon.

Driving down to Exeter this morning was a glorious 'Autumn' day - moderate
frost (good enough for January/February) and mist and fog - particularly
over the Avon at Bredon.
Exeter was warm and sunny - almost unbroken all day.
Driving back a few bits of showery rain - looked like decaying convection,
but passing Cheltenham very heavy rain over Bredon Hill and very interesting
clouds - long wave like clouds to the west of the heavy rain

Around 3.30pm the sky did look extremely threatening, but the threat
turned out to be a bluff - ended up with little more than several brief
heavy showers.
