UK meteorology

Well, we've just had the shortwave upper trough associated with the approaching cold front move through. It generated a thunderstorm and brief heavy rain. Most areas will, over the next few hours, be into the cooler, drier air behind the cold front as it moves through (albeit possibly bringing another load of showers/storms with it). After the front clears, it will probably cloudier than it often is behind cold fronts, indicating that the atmosphere isn't as dry as often in such cases.
 
Any showers relating to the cold front are reducing in area and heading-out into the North Sea from Lincolnshire. All other area (away from the Western Isles) should stay dry for the rest of the day.
