Yes indeed; also after setting out with a thick layer of frost on the front,
which gradually melts - it can keep splashing the windscreen for a long time if
the air is only just above freezing.  There's a good blast of air that comes up
that valley.

Curious what Bob has said - it's always worse on my side too, but
that's the opposite side from his!  Something to do with the camber maybe
(assuming it's not simply that the driver notices it more his/her side).  You
get the most splashing when the water runs forward, as on braking.  Maybe it
does come out of the seal channel not off the panel surface...
