Stormy Weather

Day off today, so the weather in my area was bound to be dubious at best. And so it proved.

After a dry sunny week, there have been showers today, including a brief shower of hail in St Andrews at lunchtime. Temperature currently 6°; it's been 14° the last few days.

Not much better than 12C here, mostly cloudy and, after a couple of humid days, that wind has been back again. If there has been anything noticeable about the weather in recent weeks it's not how cold it has been but the strength of the wind which has been in evidence nearly every day. It's ruined what should have been a decent few days this week.

Same here, yesterday was dull, cloudy, strong winds keeping what would have been a respectable temperature down, it was impossible to go out without a coat. It rained quite heavily during the evening. Today started clear and blue but the wind was bitter this morning and around midday a violent hailstorm. Met Office promises more of the same for here, cool, NNE wind for tomorrow, max of 10°, around 7° with wind, even colder on Sunday. As Petrushka says, what should have been a decent few days hasn't been, with the exception of Tuesday.

Cold, grey....cold rain showers....wind from norf....nasty afternoon in prospect for all those football clubs with hopes and fears....500.000 people (hopes and fears)....funnyol'life innit....At the chelsea game on Thurs night, the people in Basle Switzerland attended in T shirts....

[Petrushka]

Overcast and chilly here as well. The sun peeps through from time to time but it's not warm at all. The good weather that people seem to have had this past week never really materialised up here.. The strong wind ruined what there was. Forecasts of a heatwave at the end of April were well wide of the mark as it could still be January up here!

If men don't watch snooker for hours they enthuse about cricket. The only sport I really like watching is tennis and on Freeview we only get Wimbledon.

Used to like attending horse racing at Epsom in my distant youth, my dad's family lived nearby in Ewell.

... hmmm. Doesn't touch this corner of humanity...

Actually, am not sure that any game needed to be invented.

It's sunny and bright here, but temp is still in single figures.

[Petrushka]

Some pretty sharp hail showers now!

Just one half-hearted cumulonimbus seen some way west of here so far on what was predicted to be a day of continual heavy showers for this area. Could be wrong, but so far not much build-up: you normally need a lot of cumulonimbus clouds in a cold unstable airstream of this kind to get a small number of really heavy, thundery-type downpours.

Maximum of 10 C just recorded - 4 C below the average max for late April here.

The little girl from upstairs has just shouted "It's snowing!" - in fact it's blossom blowing from nearby trees!
