Jon.


There were 2 regions of activity, one near the airport and the other to
my SW and over the North Sea. Lightning at about one every 10 seconds
but TS wasn't significant enough (and too far away) here to warrant a
(WR). Torrential rain here in Wallsend.

Not a drop of rain from that front in Dawlish.

A tiny 0.2mm in Haytor and once again no thunder. Very disappointing given
the colourful radar display :-(
