04-03-2011: Mendip Streamer

The only day in April 2011 when one could say the typical 'sunshine and showers' came into play. Showers readily formed by late morning and gave a few heavy downpours throughout the early-mid afternoon.

As winds turned more southwesterly throughout the day, showers became confined to inland areas. A common Mendip streamer set up whereby showers followed a line northeastwards along the Mendip hills. In summer, thunderstorms often follow this route and I can hear rumbles and bangs from here but not actually received an overhead thunderstorm. No thunder this time but a nice sight to see cu-nimbs which are so rare this year!
