A couple of bonus mid level thundery showers passed by between 10.40 and middnight.. Light shower.. Nice bit of sheet lightning..

Had some rain here this morning... When I see clouds like this then I ll get very excited havn t seen any as dramatic like this this year yet.. I mean mid layer...Had the classic cumulus so far CB..

Did shrewsbury get anything.. 6 cells going off here at the same time pretty outstanding few days yesterday was a lull,thunder was extremely frequent CC as I dared to go out into it..

Yesterday gave a thundery shower west of here 1.30 to 2.20pm it was rumbling in newtown.. Today was a slow starter hottest day of the year at 28.2c A few cumulus started appearing east breeze not much going on.. Then a few started towering more SW and west again heard the odd rumble then lines of CB clouds TCU thundery showers so from about 4.35 to 8.50pm.. The thundery showers were closing in SE to NW then we were surrounded no escape there were 6 diferent storms going off at the same time then the main thunderstorm came from the ESE and gave 0.2 inches of rain.. phenomenal clouds today just like the early 80s thunder heard tops of those clouds..

A corking thunderstorm here 4.32 to 6.32pm.. Continuous thunder for 50 mins or so crazy long duration big bolts of lightning mixed in.. The shower just steady rain and its evaporated away not dampened the dust yet..but overhead thorm..

Been a lovely fresh healthy easterly wind for the last 2 weeks what a bonus no humidity wall to wall sunshine most days.. Bit cloudy first thing last wednesday was lovely and cold a relieve from the burning sun scorching the ground..Today cloudy all day.. Can t remember such a long run of east winds before this time of year..

How does one record the terror of those moments? Trumpets are of legend. Revelations 8:6-7 in the Bible and the Egyptian record as documented in the Kolbrin speak of these trumpets. In Finland, there is a legend that the Norse God, Heimdallr, would blow the mythical Gjallerhorn during a time of very cold winters to warn of the Viking apocalypse. The days of stillness were followed by a time when the noise of trumpeting and shrilling was heard in the Heavens, and the people became as frightened beasts without a headsman. … The Doomshape thundered sharply in the Heavens and shot out bright lightings. Then a voice like ten thousand trumpets was heard … The whole of the land moved and mountains melted. The sky itself roared like ten thousand lions in agony. Kolbrin Ireland.. NE england.. London.. Down under a new sound..

Ground is very heavy and soggy so late into april.. Mowing the lawn was difficult for the first time... But definately will not be complaining,after last years horendous drought.. Temps are certainly surpressed so far this spring and we have a cold strong easterly flow to come.. Tomorrow should be milder havn t reached 14c this month yet though..

The paper headlines are turning more insane every year...

Close to record wet march nothing crazy like other recent months in the last decade or so but just over 6 inches still the wettest I ve recorded.. But also who needs a near record cold month when you can get near record snowfalls instead..

Another great spring of big contrasts.. From winter with snow in april to summer with huge thunderstorms early may..

If it was spring 1996 it would be May 1st on a cold day of just 6c..

Spring 1987 you d have best of both worlds very cold march and very warm april.. Late march gave a nasty storm which I maybe confusing with the late march storm of 1986..

Will the temp even reach 13c this month doubt it.. It did reach 13c once in march 2006.. Looking like one of the wettest marches on record after this next week. Wet and windy makes a change to recent marches people have been spoilt.. Think we ll see snow in april again the way this spring is shaping up..

How wet will this march end up.. Back to the 1980s march weather this year..

Heavy snow shower late yesterday gave a slight covering.. Today has been cold raw 4.9c and wet.. Big floods yesterday

17 days so far this past week has saved this year except we ll see more yet,March and april..

Surprising how the river severn is bank full.. This snow has done just the job to soak into the ground bring that clean water back.. Still plenty of snow drifts and more still scattered around Lawn is 70% snowcover yet..

Rapid thaw today temp made 10.4c.. Won t be much left by tomorrow except the drifts and where the snow has fell off the roof..

Huge damage from the blizzard the other NNEl gales making it severe gales with thick ice on trees.. Next possible Severe NNW gale.. This was extreme for a north wind weird weather lately..

That didn t last long.. It was still sleeting here at 5pm.. Blizzard the other night in those gales..

Been snowing here for the past 2 and a half hours don t get too excited its of the wet variety at times..but got an extra slight covering.. 2.3c now..

In the last 10 years March 2018 comes 1st for record snowfall for all time.. March 2013 comes second.. March 2023 yes ended in 3 again comes third place already just 1 inch behind 2013..

Took this in last 10 mins.. Poor trees branches off picture doesn t do it justice..
