severe snowstorm

A superb day today, plenty of sunshine, not a drop of rain and feeling pleasant in the sun even though we didn't get that far into double figures, a max temp of 11.2. More days like today would be great.

A lovely sunny evening here. It wasn't too bad today, one or two April showers and some pea sized hail this afternoon accompanied by a few rumbles of thunder, but lengthy spells of sunshine in between the showers. Much lighter winds than yesterday. Tomorrow is looking to be a reasonably nice day.

Just had two more rumbles of thunder.

Hail storm here and just had a rumble of thunder.

Well it's certainly been an interesting day of weather, some really potent gusts of wind, particularly around showers. Squally rain and hail showers on and off. Sadly, no thunder and lightning here, but looks like quite a few strikes elsewhere in the region. Definitely into the convective season now, which provides some interest.

Some squally showers this morning and really quite vicious gusts of wind recently.

No thunder heard here. Mind you, it could have easily have been drowned out by the hail and rain that was lashing against the window. Now we are into the perfect mid winter setup, showers feeding in from the WNW in a polar maritime flow, shame it's mid April.

Rush2019 Yes, same here, gusty winds and heavy rain with hail mixed in, lashing against the window.

A nice start to the day with plenty of sunshine. Dry at the moment, but showers are forecast. Sunshine has been limited in recent times, but it has felt springlike in sunny breaks we have had. It's going to feel decidedly chillier than of late tomorrow.

Some very short lived heavy rain just before lunchtime, but been largely dry since aside from a brief shower just now, the sun trying to make an appearance every now and again.

Looks like I spoke too soon, the shadow has suddenly broken, raining steadily.

A few sporadic bits and pieces of rain here, but the Welsh Hills are doing a good job of gobbling the worst of it, and then its developing again as it hits the Peaks/Pennines.

It's not the bright start we had yesterday. Dry at the moment, but showers not too far away by the looks of it and a bit of a murky damp day in prospect. At least there seems the potential for a settled spell of weather in the longer term outlook.

A reasonable day again today, dry and better described as bright than actually sunny, temperature reached 17.7C. I would definitely take more days like this.

A new day has dawned and we have sun, might be another reasonable day here.
