I dont think thats actual rain. Other radar services arent picking it up. Perhaps some interference?

EDIT: Scratch that, it did appear on others, I didn't go back enough! Mostly diminished already and stayed off shore for the most part.

This is a list of the hourly readings from Aug 10 2003. Times are in UTC so add an hour to get the BST time. We are a couple of degrees ahead of 2003 (31.6C at 0850Z compared to 29.6C in 2003)!
