Curious persistent 'tail' of heavy rain over Hampshire / West Sussex

Looking at the rain radar, there has been a fairly persistent 'tail' of
heavy rain running down roughly through Basingstoke, Winchester,
Chichester kind of area, and a few miles out to sea. A friend who lives
in Bosham is unable to drive to work in Portsmouth due to flooding, and
is looking nervously at the very full mill stream running past his house.
Any idea why this belt of heavy rain has been rather stuck over the same
area for hours instead of moving across the country, as the rest of the
rain in the South seems to be doing?
Cheers!
John.

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.
Mmm, that makes sense - thanks Dave.
