Winchester this morning

I feel lost tonight. Betrayed by the radar and knowing absolutely sod all about what this system is doing.

St Giles Was a nice surprise.

Have a very small dusting here. Was tentatively waiting all day for the snow which ended up almost completely circling us. Had some flurries at 2pm yesterday and must've picked up some dreggs from the South East overnight?

Had quite a loud storm pass overhead. Saw a few close CG's and lots of loud thunder which I can still hear now it's out in the channel. Not quite a direct hit but some rogue hail up to 5p size made it to us (largest i've seen). 1st screenshot is from the most recent storm, 2nd is from another that passed mid-afternoon.

Mass evacuation of Weymouth beach currently underway after a downpour followed by drizzle. Been cloudy for much of the day.

I have been watching and sharing everyone's frustration about the cloud and rain - the sun has come back out in Weymouth and temperature is rising quite quickly.

BBC forecasting winds nearing 90mph for Southampton whilst further east in Portsmouth winds are forecasted to be 59mph. Why is this?

Anyone able to make sense of the radar and prospects for the Portsmouth area? I hear it's moving SE but it seems to be spinning around and not over my location.

Weymouth where my family is right now. Nothing on the ground in Portsmouth. Lucky buggers, it was only half an hour ago that I was telling them about our snow whilst they had rain! received_1152823068233142.mp4

How's the south coast looking for tomorrow? Both bbc and meto are jumping between heavy snow and sleet for the Portsmouth area.

Sleeting quite hard Portsmouth. Didn't know until I came inside and my black coat was covered in it.

Loud claps of thunder and a few flashes of lightning in Weymouth Only just got here too, what a treat ?

Precip on radar but nothing falling here in Portsmouth. Isle of Wight has dissapeared from view so I suspect there's something out there...

Do you think it will be predominantly overcast this week? Meto are keen on going with bits of sun but lots of cloud. Anyhow, at least the rain's holding off for my plans up to midweek.
