If you look at the radar stepwise you can see it is the result of the
centre of the small LP being located such that the perimeter is rotating
over that area perpetually replenishing the rainfall.

On what would I guess be the western edge of this in Southampton.
Since about 0900 it's been dark to the east and lighter to the west.
Heavy but not exceptional rain here. Good job it's Monday not the
weekend, that's all I can say!
