Very light shower here around 4.30 pm. Not enough to be worthwhile
bringing the washing in or to stop me carrying on the outdoor DIY job I'm
doing. It fell from medium-level cloud of a rather dark and mottled appearance
of the type that often precedes frontal thunderstorms. No mention of it in R4
lunchtime forecasts, not that I take them too seriously. Anybody else get any
rain? (Max here 21.9°C, rather early).

Thanks, Jon. I was too busy to tune in to Volmet at the time or I would
have got that. Gatwick is 12 mi SSW of here.

Tudor,

Some more non TAF-able rain here at Guildford at the same time - not enough
really to wet the surfaces.
