Default [WR] Romsey - lightning visible

Lightning seen sporadically after nightfall, primarily to
the southwest but more recently to the east as well.
Numerous CB cells have been drifting by but not
over the Romsey area since 1000Z, resulting in fair,
often sunny weather. In the light of the moon, the
CB's can be seen easily, continuing their trek slowly
northwards, passing either side of us this evening.
