Brussels







Excellent, although not as much lightning on the video as I had hoped.



Completely died a death that Cherbourg blob, 3 spots of rain and the sun went in for 5 minutes. Just a normal sunny afternoon here at Southend, with nothing bubbling up at all.



Where's my toys!

Presumably on the ground scattered round the pram! Try being here

though, lots of rain just to the east of us, but very little here (just

northwest of Exeter).

As you are here MetMan; I'm getting the five day forecast now. By the way I hate to moan all the time but the rainfall pages are an absolute pain with one wrong click whilst looking at England you finish up with half the page in La Rochelle.

The old one which has been phasing out for some time now ; is far more user friendly.

Yeah, you've got to be careful where the cursor is if you use the wheel.
I always make sure the cursor's on a blank piece of the page before
scrolling it. Mind you, I think this is a function of the Google maps
they use. But the radar could be a lot better, although I gather it's
quite hi-res. Glad you've got Bromley back (I think!).

Google has a lot to answer for.
