[knocker]

Frequent showeers this morning so no surprise potentially unstable to around 20,00ft but signs of upper cloud already?

[MP-R]

Continuing the theme of sunshine and squally hailstorms today, after plenty through the night and early morning.

 

[matt111]

Fewer showers than yesterday with just a couple of showers so far, the last of which produced a nice rainbow. 8.0°C

[Barbel]

Yep - ramping up here too! Windows open.. 

 

[MP-R]

Torrential rain here now and the wind has really picked up again! 

[Somerset Squall]

Got some very squally winds through just then with torrential rain, weather station recorded a gust of 60mph and it isn't exactly elevated as much as it should be to get a spot on reading so maybe the gust was a little higher than that!

Frequent squally showers at the moment. Max gust to date 61mph

Sounds horrendous out there but the nearest station for wind gusts says 30mph (yesterday was 36mph). Food bin got blown down the road levels.

Violent hail shower at the moment

Incursion of Stratospheric air

I am reliable informed the the tropopause fold is idndicated by the red shading on airmass imagery

Another wild day, several hail showers this morning but otherwise bright and dry overhead. 
 

Beautiful anvil passing over now from the shower as shown on the radar grab.

Has anyone noticed the radar returns looking like this the last few windy showery days? Is it to do with the wind causing issues?

[AWD]

Quite a potent hail shower passing through here.  My amatuer video of it whilst waiting for the missus in my car;

Could see that cell moving in from further south in Clevedon (couldn’t not have the ice cream... you don’t like to be rude )

 

[Crackerjack]

After yesterday’s total rain event of 23mm here the river Frome has responded more than I thought on my walk earlier with ‘Ollie’

Apart from bits and bobs of c;loud a clear sky this morning but chilly in the stiff breeze

[knocker]

Still sunny and pleasant but more Ci than earlier, particularly to the west, presumably courtesy of the approaching weak warm front
