Interesting sky all afternoon with lots of high level instability obvious
but only a few drops of rain at ground level here.

2100 monstrous yellow-lit Cb, base below horizon, roughly S of here - near
Aylesbury?

1.6mm of rain fell in Romsey during 2 moderate showers from
high level CBs (bases 5000ft +) showing mammatus at leading
edge of CI anvils. As Martin commented in his OBS for 1400Z,
the sky was almost chaotic with all sorts of AC and CI varieties.
Large raindrops but no thunder recorded here. Air temp was
22C at start of first shower around 1630Z.
