Not sure whats going on but wow theres some huge convection here and some very heavy rain!

The radar looks really strange!

Just two random heavy showers.

[Richard2901]

A lovely sunny day until 5pm when, as soon as work was over, the miserable infuriating summer from hell struck again as skies clouded over, temperatures took a plunge and it started raining

Just a light shower which produced nothing measurable but it remains yet another awful grey evening with the temperature having fallen to 15.8C, from a max of 18.3C. It was still on 18C at 5pm. Looking like yet another week when the garden is out of bounds and all time is spent cooped up indoors.
