The frontal rain fell mid afternoon and amounted to only about 4mm.
Temperatures have fallen from about 24C to 18C now.

I've put a sequence of cloud images showing the back edge of the front as
seen from my garden and as the sun was setting.

23:45 and after one thunderclap followed by a thunder peel we in Wimborne have
had heavy rain for about ten minutes. Stopped now apart from a few large
drops.

The clouding over started in the morning at about 11 o'clock. Temperature is
still about 20 C.
