Very wet start to the day but rain easing off. Temperature was at 9.7C high at 9.30 this morning but now right down to 6.6C with particularly strong gusts of wind. Apart from being utterly disgusting, it's actually rather exciting weather.

[Andy Bown]

The max so far today was 11.1c just before the squall line at around 10.30, the min so far today was 6.0c about an hour ago and it has now

steadied up at 7.6c after an hour of sunshine although showers are blowing in from the WNW.

Well over an inch of rain in the gauge but I'm not going to check properly until the showers have cleared.

[Neilsouth]

Just had a nasty squall go through north,north east kent and to my surprise it even contained HAIL!. I could hear it smacking up against the window as i opened the door I was pushed back by the wind and could see the hail on the ground leaving a slushy mix on the car!

[Methuselah]

The front went through here at noon: very heavy rain and a fierce gale. Sun out now, 12C...
