That looks more like what appears on my monitor when my 6 month old daughter is let loose on my keyboard..lol....

Seriously though Robbie, what does it mean?......

Read the Get Met 2012 lool!

Anyways, that lot south of Brighton has intensified over the last 10-15 minutes.

But it highlights this lot is 30% likely to produce some Heavy Showers of rain with Thunderstorms.

I'm a bit rusty on the METAR/TAF/NOTAMs but it's a case of learning the terminologies. Easy once you get the hang of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/METAR

Going to be shocked if this lot doesn't go bang once UHI affect gets going, pretty much darkening here in SE17 with the far south pitch black.

Come on, footballs on soon weather... I got things to do!!!

That's some storm approaching London....

It's gusting like hell, nothing notable yet... but it's going pretty dark. Feels like the Sun has gone down.

Alas, parts of the south east are getting lucky again at the expense of us cray.gif

I live in hope of the odd lightning strike and rumble of thunder...
