I've just seen the BBC south-east forecast for the next few days and
they're
now watering down (!) any mention of rain. Some showers are possible
later
tomorrow but those on Wed/Thurs, are likely to be very patchy and light,
north of the Thames.

Could this be because the 'rain' for the south-east is expected during the
night? Maybe the beeb forecaster only thinks people are interested in the
daytime weather now! Admittedly most of us are asleep and won't directly
experience it, but after such a protracted dry spell it might be worth
playing up more.

A friend at the MO has had a look at the mesoscale run and according to her
the T+36 frame (http://129.13.102.67/wz/pics/brack0a.gif) shows a hefty blob
over Hants/Surrey/Sussex (16mm/hr rates) probably heading to Essex in the
early hours.

I do hope so - whilst its be nice not having to cut the grass it would be
nice to have a bit of green to cut now!
