Very heavy shower just passed through and strong wind. No hail or thunder though. It looks very grey out there now.

[alexisj9]

Just heavy rain here and wind has dropped back down for now. Wonder if any more of these showers will come along down here.

Missed that but the wind is howling round the house here. wow wheelie bins and everything.........

 

I'm in work in RM10, so maybe back home there was no thunder?

 

 

Seems to be brightening up here at the moment.  Wonder whats next? Kitchen sink maybe ;-)

[Steve C]

Just had a squally shower, with hail - no thunder, although I was half expecting some.

 

God, this weather is dreadful now!

[Snowangel-MK]

Off to MK now anyway, see you all later and I hope I might see some more action!

 

Always plenty of action in MK 

 

 I think the worst of this lot passed to the south though....I bet the shopping mall is busy today, I'm not going anywhere near the centre until the sales are over !

shouldnt that be your not going to sail past the shopping mall

brightening up here but radar showing another belt of rain. ho hum; its winter after all

[Ravendane]

Massive short but nasty hail storm over us  earlier...huge stones and high winds. There was a multiple car pile up on the A41 near Bourne End / Hemel Hempstead during the storm....no serious injuries thank goodness.

[Snowangel-MK]

Unbelievably stupid....Why would you take children so close to the sea in weather like this?

 

 

 

 

[blackprince]

Gone dark and drizzly wondering if I should collect the ducks and chickens fromarround the garden before they get blown away :/

Hi Looby probably a bit late but yew I would get them safely indoors,we have a lot worse to come me thinks....Chris

I may be jumping to conclusion here but some people don't deserve children, this is so irresponsible!

Precisley! some people need their head examining!............. mind you; its given me a thought about perhaps taking SWMBD to see the sea :lol:

I agree, very silly, I don't think they thought the water would go over the wall. Not everyone follows the weather like us.

Mind you there are some people I can think of who I wouldn't mind seeing getting washed out to sea 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

another very heavy shower rattling through!

[Team Jo]

Well the sun is out now here in the City!! Unbelievable.

 

Next Blob incoming!

[JennyJane1]

Sudden enormous hail storm, big bits of ice, looked out, everywhere white, car alarms going off, some thunder, some very wet walkers in the street.Yet it was warm this morning again.

stupid people on Brighton Beach, two people already dead in the last month here from being too close :-( and yet they still risk it...

had a five minute downpour of sleety rain and now the sun is trying to make an appearance.

[stun12]

Looks like the extreme SE corner is missing the worst of it, for a change. Some squally showers but no hail or thunder so far. The sun's come out now, which has the unfortunate effect of making the dogs arrive mob-handed (mob-pawed?) and demand the walk they didn't have earlier. Trouble is, the woods are just filthily muddy, and the missus is getting most upset about constantly following them around with a mop.

I'll be happy if it stays that way hate thunder storms.

anyone else think that the big radar image west of London looks like a country on a map?? maybe India/Pakistan/Nepal?

OK, i know, i read too much into these things :lol:

[Moore1]

Getting Darker in the City of London again, and rain starting too.

 

 

 

We now have blue sky and even a bit of sunshine......how quickly it changes.

Thanks to Jules and Gin for the hot choccy just as the mad rain swooped in and a lovely rainbow came out. Windspeeds were only around 25mph but that sea was bubbling up like a cauldron and the hail got in my ears!!! :lol:

 

Eyes down for the radar now.

[anything-but]
