Travelled up the M40 in this lot, the sky ahead was very menacing, there looked to be a conical shaft, but probably just rain, it got darker and darker by the second then we met torrential rain and spray.

(I gather the motorcycle racing was hit something similar)

The picture doesn't really do justice to the conditions, it was too dark to show the worst of it, speeds dropped to about 40mph at times !, it was similar up through the M6 spaghetti junction area.
