The weather here (Southampton) differed from the forecast today, at

sunny between 3-4.30pm particularly, now the cloud is coming across)

but what was not forecast was a fairly general and extensive area of

cloud (low-based and extensive cumulus below Ac sheets and some

showery rain, heavy at times) between around 8-11am in particular.



The weather charts on the Met Office site showed nothing - guess this

was some kind of wave/trough which formed unexpectedly. Did any other

parts of southern England see this?

No rain here but it got quite gloomy late afternoon. The max was

only 20.1°C though the humidity made it feel a little higher than

that.
