Around 1420 I heard thunder from Southampton, the first time I've
heard thunder in the UK since 15/6/08. Seems to be a locally
developing shower, what's odd is that the showers are developing S of
here, towards the sea; normally at this time of year they develop
overland. A contrast to the last couple of days, which were rather
uneventful round here, except some brief heavy rain around 0930
yesterday.


The radar echoes appear to be overland - just. Developing along a sea-breeze
front?
