Looking at this morning's radar it appears the wave front is stuck
further north than had been originally predicted with the heavier rain
persisting over the Midlands.

Whatever the radar might incidate, we have endured continuous light drizzle
for at least the past two hours. A damp day is in prospect and I fear that
will be true of the London area also.

The heaviest rain is even to the north of me now.
Just light rain at the moment.

.... looking at the latest surface wind plots and VIS imagery, it seems
as if a quasi-stationary (QSY) boundary-layer zone is strung out from
(roughly) south Gloucestershire to north Hampshire and onto the Sussex
Weald. On the south side (as we are), the over-turning of the cloud is
producing very brief brighter spells, but also 'drizzle' showers - to
the north, as Roger has noted, moist boundary-layer conditions seem
likely to persist. I suspect the central London area will remain in that
zone. Chilly, cloudy, perhaps not too much rain ...?

Here in Horsham it has stopped raining and it looks like it is trying to
brighten up. Still cloudy but much better than the forecast suggested.
Hopefully the 10C maxes predicted for today will be pessimistic as well.

Same in Southampton, cloudy and cool but dry, really not that bad.
Maybe, on the basis of earlier forecasts, I chose the wrong day to
work this weekend!
Got out yesterday though, which was, at least between about 1 and 5pm,
a pleasant summery day.

Yes a touch of light drizzle in the air from time to time but far better
than the heavy rain that was forecast.

Quite a reasonable day down 'ere though not as warm as yesterday (20.2°C).

Bright, dry with a few sunny intervals here and there, and feeling
warm(ish) even though the actual temperature (17.6°C) doesn't reflect that.

If the temperature doesn't make it to 20°C (unlikely), then today will
be the coldest day since the 20th May.

(15:09), 17.6°C, RH 82%, DP 14.6°C, 1006 hPa, Wind 8 mph SW.

The thunderstorm we had on 26th May rather ruined what would have been
a notable dry spell here. 15th May - today (3rd) have seen 16.2mm,
but 13.1mm fell in the thunderstorm (which was quite fun). The only
other rain since 14th May being 1.0 on 17th May and 2.1mm yesterday
(mainly 16:00-19:00).

With the wind, max (so far - it's fluctuating rather) only 16.2C
today, with glimpses of the sun. Coolest day since 19th May here.
Still busy in the sea http://www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm as
there is a wave - a rare phenomenum recently.
