Back in NI for the weekend and the weather is lovely compared to what I left the house to this morning! Beautiful sunny day and reaching 15c this afternoon. Lovely walk round the coast and a beer outside later if it stays like this! Good for the soul
dryfie Ignoring the sarcasm in your reply I'm assuming a squall line or something embedded in the front that went though. Didn't last long but fair whistled round the house! The use of the word gale was probably overdoing it
Quite impressive temp inversion / difference locally this morning. 1c at Edinburgh Airport (4 miles away in a straight line) but here with just a modest increase in elevation it's already 6c!
Local met station station shows a sharp temp decrease of 3c as soon as that first band hit. Fits in with how quickly it turned to snow.
The second band was a mix of hail, sleet and rain. Nowhere near the intensity of the first band.
