 CoventryWeather Im in Sandbach, about 20 mins away from Stoke...and the squall line was very intense but didnt last long. But under it lots of lightning, hail and rain but I did notice the wind was swirling as the rain was wrapping around so I can see why it could of produced a tornado. Incredible.

A fairly lively morning by the looks of things though the lightning missed my area by 20-30 miles this morning to my east. Rain seemed heavy, briefly woke up around the time the squall hit.

Showers with hail mixed in following behind, classic post-frontal cold unstable air setup with the strong sunshine leading to some decent convection.

Hail shower forced down by strong wind set off car alarms and turned hills white, made quite a noise. Wow.

Terrific storm going on near Beckington and Frome. Just over pea sized hail and a good few crashes of thunder so far. Been hailing for about 15-20 mins now.

The Buzzard storm shield in full effect. Another storm line that parts into two as it approaches me. Genuinely funny how many times it happens. 
 

Love to know if someone clever knows why.

Woah, the hail just went crazy!

I thought it was the wind, but then I looked out my window and saw a massive blast of hail, practically all sideways!
No thunder or lightning. Recording it just in case, but damn, that was cool.

Some from this afternoon. A fab day for some cloudspotting, about as classic of an April sunshine & (hail) showers day as it gets. Although a little chilly for my liking, the very strong sunshine makes up for it!

Also some mammatus looking at the Coventry Airport cam when I didn't have the chance to capture them:

 Thunders Was that looking West?

Had a hail producer that turned the ground white at 6pm together with straight line winds of 38mph gusting to 57mph.

Some of the wildest weather in some  time.

Looks like the same cell that bought a large tree down in Hassocks and blocked the road ,power lines down too.
