Default Rapid onset of rain

Southampton - Around 2100BST: clear sky still visible to north; around

started raining quite heavily, none of your prolonged Ci/Cs/As
sequence with this one...

Can't remember a time when we've had so many frontal waves moving in
from the SE into Atlantic air repeatedly. This "back side of the
plume" setup must be highly unusual.

I was thinking the same earlier Nick. I may end up with higher than
average rainfall this year and so far most of it has come from the S/S.E
or from the North Sea.
