Madeira, rather than +0.5 or less back to the Azores. Oceanic heat

Having watched this ex-TS on radar & satpic most of the day it's still
there on the Meteox 21z IR satpic, it's the only ex TS the OP has ever
seen clobbering Britain. It shows in spectacular fashion on one of BB's
sat pics too:

It seemed to just eat the front whilst travelling on its merry way to
the UK.. it seemed the front lost its identity and not the TS.

SW Wales just has to be getting a lot of rain..

Weather radar shows a lot of rain over S. Wales.

That really is a little gem. It has to be worth at least one research
