And I was right, this end of the squall line is breaking up right at the last minute as it moves across East Kent, only gave me a few minutes of normal moderate rain and a bit of a breeze getting up and now it's trying to brightening up.
Happens every time, the Folkestone Weather Shield once again being effective as ever.

I thought I had blinked and missed this feature, but looking at the hole in the radar trace sequence over South Cambs. (situated around the top of the M11 if you show Motorways on the Meto radar) explains all - there was nothing to miss.

I issued a quick heads up on a certain social network website telling everyone to expect heavy squally rain for a short time in 30 minutes . . . then ten minutes, five minutes . . . then right on cue the rain did pep up a little . . . . and . . . er . . . that was it. No gusty winds or hail or anything.
It is looking a bit grey and laden to my west (looks like the rear end of a line of cumulonimbus) where I think the cold front is still working it's way over us at this end.
