Aaaah yes, that indicates to me a radar calibration issue that was
finally noticed when ground observations failed to match the radar
displays. I, too, noticed the sudden "switch" to widesptread echoes
later in the morning.

On the other hand, it was an absolutely fabulous sunny summery day
down here by The Solent. it was literally shirtsleeves weather - I
went on a most pleasant late afternoon bike ride wearing, above the
waist, only a thin T shirt. Wonderful weather for mid October!

Cheers,

I must say I am envious of the weather experienced down yonder on Monday!
20ºC+ here in October is an extremely rare event.
I wouldn't mind a final taste of summer before the much forecast severe
winter sets in (not my forecast I should add!).
Meanwhile, looks like a cool and very wet few days ahead here... Good test
for the radar i suppose!
