Brussels on Friday 22nd April 2011

Sunny and very warm again - hazy sky once more. Cu and eventually Cb
developed steadily in the late afternoon.

At 17.45 local time, thunder started to rumble in the distance and the sky
became more or less overcast and quite threatening. Occasional thunder
until about 18.30 but no lightning and no rain where I live. Seems to have
been quite a downpour at Uccle in the south of Brussels though.

Light wind from between E and S for most of the day - variable, stronger and
gusty during the thundery episode.

Brussels Uccle 25.9°C - overnight minimum 11.7°C - and 9 mm rain
Brussels Airport 25.5°C - overnight minimum 8.6°C
