Current radar shows Scotland and N England getting clobbered (new met term I
invented). Somewhat surprisingly I dont see any electrical activity.

Hmmm... the 2000 GMT avbrief radar image shows almost the entire
Scottish mainland obscured by precipitation - more than 95% of it by
area I'd say, and North West England, too.

I don't think I've ever seen such a large area of rain on the UK radar
imagery - it must be pretty unusual.

Bit later up here though there had been the odd spot or three blowing
about all afternoon, enough to form blobs on the cars and the
occasional rivulet.

The AWS has clocked just 1mm, I don't believe it from the sounds on
the windows. I guess the F5 to F6 and poor location means that it is
raining vertically at the gauge but upwards... B-(
