Got that covered. Our resident Hedgehogs come through a gap under our front gate and we've now created a gap in the fence to next door on the other side.

They have and will continue to have full access rights.

Oh wow, that's awesome, really does give me faith in the human race to hear of so many people helping our spiky friends out, god knows they need all the help they can get!

Currently a moderate hail shower

Good Morning all,

 

I noticed that the Severn Bridges twitter account was talking of 110mph wind gusts on the Aust viaduct this morning.....

More strong winds for the south west late Friday/early Saturday as the next system swings through

[Mapantz]

Well it was windy, with plenty of 40mph gusts, but the peak winds that were forecast between 2 and 4am never happened here. They actually died down. A bit of an anti climax!

Currently sunny spells and 10.2°C.

[jtay]

Looks like nothing on the radar, but it's absolutely smashing it down here.

[knocker]

No surprise, potentially unstable up to the low tropopause

[MP-R]

Squally hailstorm here half an hour ago with mammatus to follow.

 

[Argyle10]

Just had a very squally hail shower here. Wow. 

[matt111]

Very windy overnight last night. Not as windy now but still windy enough with a few showers, especially during the afternoon so far. 7.3°C

[Lyn-M]

More mammatus here in the last squally shower about 20 minutes ago.

 

 

[James86]

Squally shower in Southampton. Some really hard gusts in it. Just took out 2 neighbours fence panels and tipped over the neighbours trampoline!

[matt111]

Had a brief hail shower here not long ago with very gusty winds 

[Willsy]

some nice cloud scapes today. there was lots of mammatus behind this beefy hail/sleet storm that went through earlier 

[WillSussex]

Don't often post but thought I'd share these pictures taken just now. Can't remember the name for these formations but very striking and dramatic.

[Glenosnow]

Afternoon all,currently 5.7°C,have had squally showers here and there,one rattled through, managed to take this pic of some mammatus  just after....looking towards Southampton.

[WillSussex]

Couple more from the front of my house - spectacular!

Yeah, I've just got back from a walk to Downton, looking SSE.

Quite a way off though.

[Lyn-M]

Is it unusual to see mammatus so widely spread?  The photos today are truly spectacular.

[knocker]

Showers but less wind at the moment. But the next frontal system will bring some heavy rain this evening and overnight accompanied by gales force winds for a time

[Andy Bown]

Heavy rain, hail and now some sleet! Gusty wind and temperature dropping at 4.1c . Truly a glorious morning .

[Wynn D Woo]

Sun is out and its friday, what more is there to say

[Mapantz]

Windy, cloudy / overcast but dry.

Temp 9.2°C

Dodged it beautifully this morning.

Walked 3km to Downton, hail and heavey rain while I was in the Co-op and Butchers, then cleared for the walk home.

Met a mate who'd dropped his car at the garage. Soaked.
