I think that is about to change...

Thunderstorms heading in our direction divide and pass to the east or
west of us.

Massive one just heading out of France across Belgium on NE'ly path
to the Netherlands:

It does have a few very narrow gaps but they are very narrow, I'd say
it'll be over Suid Holland in the next 2 to 3 hours. That storm was
over the South Bay of Biscay/French coast late last night.

The rain radar shows some *very* heavy rain associated with it.

Two distinct bands earlier but have fallen apart a bit now.

it'll be over Zuid Holland in the next 2 to 3 hours. That storm was
over the South Bay of Biscay/French coast late last night.

It arrived at 11:00 BST with a flash and a bang as forecast by
www.buienradar.nl
It is still raining.

So far, we've had just a few very tiny spits of rain but it's a bit
humid and overcast at 65F. If it's going to rain, I wish it would get
on with it and let the sun come back!
