.... (1205Z/1.05 pm BST): first spots of rain from what looks to be
quite an 'angry' line of echoes coming up from the south; I see the
sferics have decayed though.

.... (1400Z/3pm BST): continuous rain - mainly moderate since last
report - rain now just under 4mm; OVC NS I'd say - no evidence of
anything 'convective', but that's not to say there is not something
EMBD out of sight. Giving the impression of an active warm front and
turning out to be a very wet afternoon!

Starting to look a bit lively over west Wales now with deep convection
evident on the visible imagery along with a scattering of sferics

Flash warning issued earlier for Wales

Feels quite oppressive here with 22/17 being reported at Exeter airport.
