Banjo? I know more banjo jokes than there are fronts on a Met Office fax chart.
All you've got over the Channel at the moment is a straggly advance guard of light rain, the thunder remaining in the Bay of Biscay. Not to say there won't be something a little more active tomorrow. On the 0030 Radio 4 forecast Tomasz Shafernacker said tomorrow morning would be warm and humid in the SE and said there could be thunderstorms, implying a connection between these two phenomena. Rubbish, Tom. There is no really humid surface air on the continent and the surface wind is ESE, at right angles to the movement of the storms which will zip by rather quickly. It could be classified as a brief Spanish Plume.

Ah well they did turn up sporadically around dawn.

By the way Tudor sorry for getting your instrument od choice wrong, but every time I think of Croydon I hear 'Duelling Banjo's'. ;-)
