New cell gone up NE of Brynamman: no sferics yet but looks quite intense on radar.

Just got home and it’s unusually about 3c warmer 1miles from the coast than 15miles inland. However importantly a tiny breeze coming from the sea....

Odd! Not in my part of Worthing! 

There was heavy rain but not enough to cause that kind of flooding.

 

It’s just started spitting with rain after the earlier rain had almost dried up

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

That overshooting top has had an effect on everything in it’s shadow. Suppressed temps by about 3-4° I reckon

 Was hoping for a little more convection bubbling up here by now. Don't want to get my hopes up really, although last night's storm did pretty much come out of nowhere.
