Yes I was surprised at that, the 1300 chart showed the front still
over Cornwall, so I'd have expected for the central south coast to
have a sunny morning with only high cloud, with no precipitation until
at least 1600. Instead it was overcast from the outset in this area
(Southampton) and the first drizzle was as early as 0930. The various
forecasts seemed to be suggesting anything between 20 and 22. So why
did it cloud over so very early in the day - did the front move in
much quicker than expected?
