inland) was always 'on the edge' of something that seemed to be
concentrated down your way, with another cell to our east. Was watching
the cloud filaments here rather carefully about the same time (trying to
get the grass cut in between bursts of rain), but nothing seen. However
the situation IMV was such that a 'funnel' or similar might be seen.

Must have been raining hard in Bournemouth - several roads are/have been
closed by flooding, including the Wessex Way (main A338), Alder Road, St
Stephen's Way, etc. Ground was dry as far as Ringwood (commute from
Southampton back to Bournemouth).

Around 31mm fell here between 1430 and 1645bst.

12mm fell in 10 minutes early on, hard to tell the timings after that as the
rainguage got blocked (again!).
Coming home from Bournemouth Airport arin d 1540 or so and the Wessex Way
was an inch deep most of the way between Cooper Dean and Springbourne where
I exit.
