look at this Met Office rainfall radar picture for 9pm Saturday August 16th 2008 and see how the rain is concentrated on the land and not over the Bristol channel.
I live very close to the sharp bend on the River Severn and quite often see storms pass either side of me, but this rainfall radar pic really shows what i mean.

Anyone got ideas on this?

well there's no point it falling on water - that's wet already

there probably is some technical reason - though i am stumped as to what

LOL brett.
I am sure no technical reason, i have lived here all my life and seen it time and time again - not on the rainfall radar picture, but in real life just standing in my garden looking at the clouds passing either side of me.
If i had a quid for every time i have heard a rumble of thunder or 2 in a storm passing up the River Severn in my life i would be a millionaire! LOL
