Last night it was not forecast to reach the S.E until the early evening

considerable pace and could arrive by early afternoon. Looks pretty
heavy on the radar echoes.

Just started here at 1.04pm - though was a small pulse of rain about 40
minutes
ago. Wasn't expecting it until 4ish - but managed to get my painting
done and
dry this morn
Boughton-under-Blean north Kent coast.
Moderate rain started at 1155 gmt.
Just 1.1 mm here much less than I thought going by all the warnings and hype
and the timing for the 'event' from the BBC this morning was diabolical to
say the least.
Now a pleasant afternoon with glimpses of sun and a light south easterly !

Something is drastically amiss with the weather - it certainly isn't
doing as it's told by the models! Worked in my favour today as the
forecast yesterday was for heavy rain all afternoon in London with
strong winds. I carried on with my anniversary river trip and it was
dry, bright and totally calm on the upper deck of the boat on the
Thames!! In fact didn't spillany tea on my scones ;-)
