This weather is completely bonkers.

Was nice and sunny to start with (after a overnight low of -1.1c) and actually felt not to bad in the sun with temperature creeping up to 6c.

Then cloud bubbled up after 9am and for the last 10mins or so its been heavy snow/hail/sleet/rain.

All seasons in one shower, temperature dropping down to 3c.

Looks like a clearance from the North shortly, going to be some nice cloudscapes later hopefully.

More photos of some very stormy skies round the Firth just now. Absolutely Baltic out there at 4c.The first photo is probably Forres snow above.

Mostly sunny this morning but since lunch there have been hail and soft hail showers. Currently 8c and sunny from a low of 2C this morning. Not a leaf on the tree overlooking our back garden yet though the one to the left has started new growth.

A Winter's Tale Experienced

The last month of weather has been very unusual. The heaviest graupel shower I’ve experienced rattled through about 10 mins ago. The atmosphere does have a bit of a thundery vibe and like early last month it’s weird to see wintry precipitation from convective showers generated inland. April is when the transition from winter to summer is most apparent with a mix of rather cold and warm temperatures but despite potent cold and snow being difficult to achieve as the sun gets stronger last month was notably cold. Glasgow airport had 19 air frosts - more than February and March combined - and saw -5C recorded on the latest date. A bit like 2013 and 2018 vegetation growth was delayed until the end of the month and although the daylight hours are now more akin to summer than winter the cold there continues. Monday had the coldest May maximum at Glasgow airport since 1996 with a high of 7C. With the exception of the second half of February and March it has been pretty cold since Christmas and and 2021 has been pretty dry aswell. Hopefully this weather doesn’t persist for too long and we end up with some seasonal warmth.

Met Office explain reason for appearance of 'twister' on Glasgow weather maps:

favicon.c88e0f7d55f29b26.ico Met Office explain reason for appearance of 'twister' on Glasgow weather maps - Glasgow Live

WWW.GLASGOWLIVE.CO.UK
The appearance of the 'tornado' got weather watchers' whirligigs in a twist...and sparked a shower of Dorothy/Wizard of Oz memes in the process.

It was a beautiful morning here with blue sky, bright sunshine and next to no wind although a bit chilly so, as I'd arranged to meet my daughter up at the pub for lunch, I decided to walk and meet her there. Half way up the road and with no warning I found myself in the middle of a hail storm! This month is proving to be ridiculously unreliable.

Max temperature today was 11.2deg.C at 15:23 up from a minimum of -2.2deg.C at 05:54 and currently 9.2deg.C, humidity is 61%, wind 0 to 4mph northwesterly, pressure 1009.4hPa steady, there's been hail recorded today as 1.2mm of rain equivalent and cloud cover is 6/8.

Cows ran in again in a sleet shower in the late afternoon after their daily outing  to the grass field and within 30 mins were lying down on fresh straw.Frustration_live_1620229796128.thumb.jpg.6db28675b1ad92c9b27770bd5f0b1c2e.jpg

Just been out in the car with the dog. Left the house and 5C and bright. Ran into what i though was a shower, but on looking at the radar is quite an organised band of ppn, and the temp was soon at -0.5C and heavy snow settling even at 200m... 5.30pm in May.

Very cold uppers at present and airflow direct from the Pole and not being warmed at all. Notable for early May but not exceptional. Turning into a snowy year so far...
