Fascinating day of weather already, right from the outset.

Fog patches before daybreak with a solitary flash of
lightning at 0538Z (according to my car clock) that
coincided with the loss of "The Coast 106FM" for
about 5 seconds (IOW transmitter struck?).

In SE Wiltshire, there was a rare occurrence of day
darkness at 1235Z just ahead of a burst of intense
rain, and the wind veered sharply from south to west.

Returning home, significant flooding along the A338
made for entertaining driving through the Winterbourne
villages northeast of Salisbury as light brown water
streamed off the fields.

Now we have a thunderstorm in Romsey (began at
1503Z).
