Rapid onset of rain
Southampton - Around 2100BST: clear sky still visible to north; around
2030BST, some patches still visible more or less overhead. Just started raining quite heavily, none of your prolonged Ci/Cs/As sequence with this one... Can't remember a time when we've had so many frontal waves moving in from the SE into Atlantic air repeatedly. This "back side of the plume" setup must be highly unusual. Nick |

Nick ----------------- I was thinking the same earlier Nick. I may end up with higher than average rainfall this year and so far most of it has come from the S/S.E or from the North Sea.

Dave, S.Essex Yes, by contrast the bog-standard Atlantic systems moving W to E have been very weak, producing a lot of cloud but little rain. The first two weeks or so of this month were like that here. Back to the current event, about an hour (I would guess - I was half asleep) of extremely heavy rain here at (a guess) around 1am. Nothing on the headlines about it though, so I guess it hasn't been comparable to last Thursday's. Nick |
