Oh no! Coco pops aren't what they used to be!

Yes, agreed, they used to be CoCo poops.

Very windy here for a time last night. I noticed a last minute yellow wind warning was issued in the early hours of this morning. 

Nice to see the sun for a while today but now it’s clouded over with showers nearby. 

[Dorsetbred]

The suggestion of High pressure for a few days might mean a slight lowering of the water level around the area.

With the suggestion of aa couple of cooler nights before things warm slightly.

Beka when they are this large and bigger you probably don't want hail. Having sat inside a brand new jeep that was pounded by large hail, it ended up with every panel beaten in, + a very mutilated windscreen. Great fun though!

As to the car the rental guy commented "Got caught in the hail didya?". I suspect it was sold off quickly.

WOW! Just had a really heavy downpour of hailstones. The patio and car is covered in white stuff. Then magically, it suddenly stopped. Come on own up... who turned off the tap?

Sat in the middle of two main areas of rain again.

 Dorsetbred Don't get hail round here. It's as rare as snow and thunder 

[Andy Bown]

So pleased that the clearer conditions actually occurred during the daytime today!

Plenty of sunshine and only a few brief showers between 09.30-16.00 ! 

[Leon1]

Some decent heavy snow falling on Lansdown near Bath! Although turned back to rain now it’s less heavy.

[Saint coolio]

It’s got a wake-up-to-surprise-snow vibe about it tonight 

[matt111]

Just had another brief hail shower. First time I've seen hail in ages and I get to see it 3 times in the same day. 

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 Saint coolio I'm not a believer

[Mapantz]

 matt111

Yeah, same. Except this is the 4th hail shower here.

[Mapantz]

More hail pls

[Mapantz]

That last hail shower was a good 'un!

A fair bit of rain left to come though.

[AWD]

Typically the first day of Spring herolds this such weather over the Mendips;

 

measured 8cm on my car, all fell within 1 hour!

[Andy Bown]

Err, what!? 

[BIGDOG2]

Heavy snow falling in the frome area since 3.30 this morning 

[MP-R]

Snow band missed me by a matter of miles… literally. Oh well, too little too late anyway.

[noonoo418]

Not just a surprise snowfall, but a decent one at that....
