According to the radar it’s not raining here but according to the window it definitely is raining fairly heavily. 

I dare say the rain developed between the radar time and being at your location. The net weather radar normally updates 6 to 7 minutes after the latest time it shows so at 15.37 the 15.30 radar appears. 

Some very intense rain from Portsmouth towards Devizes now.

Yes I looked back at it later and it seems it developed more or less overhead. The next lot of rain just starting now is definitely showing on there.

Anyone potted any veggie seeds yet? I wanna get cracking as I'm always late but the weather looks rough for the foreseeable.

Window radar is the most accurate.

Why didn’t I think of using it sooner?

Yes, Brassicas, and they are as leggy as a '60s Twiggy.

Yes some of it’s powers stretched to here leaving me with a damp last hour bit nothing especially heavy. The heavier stuffs to my east.

You have to be careful though, some windows are frosted, so you won't see diddly squat, not even frost..

Presumably they’re the cannon fodder ones?

Yup it's interesting to how feisty that front is, but yet it again it really has powered up anywhere and everywhere outside of Dorset.

Had a little downpour a few minutes ago. No t&l at the minute.

I don't think anything else will form behind the band of rain.

Heavy downpours and big thunder in Wantage right now, lights wobbled.  Really unusual this time of year.  Ironically, I was in the middle of preparing a musing in the MOD thread!

From radar, looks like the main action just south of Newbury.

Interesting to get thunder from this setup so early in the year, I think 2005 was the last time I remember southerly thunder. Normally it's Atlantic-based showery air streams. Interesting nonetheless.

[Dorsetbred]

Is Oxford the next lucky recipient??

[Frosty hollows]

It's died just south of us.

Well here we go again, from storm chances today to potentially ending back in the freezer!
